  Will look into it.

  Well, the reason I did it was a website I use was broken without it. I
have seen MANY websites that use it to validate field inputs before
sending them off to the server. As far as making it manditory, I'm not
sure I have an opinion there. I will read that bug and see if one
develops.

  All that seems to have leaked out of my head in the past six months. (It
really was a mind bender of a summer.) I can look back into it. I remember
the regex implementation in kjs was really quite confusing. I was never
sure how some of it worked correctly at all. (Maybe it didn't....)
