Good writeup - my initial concern about testing another browser was offset by the discovery that Chrome was using WebKit. I didn't catch the panel about layout test regressions. If Google changed the renderer enough to start with only 23% of WebKit layout tests passing, that may mean we need to test against Chrome after all. I don't envy the jQuery / dojo / Prototype / Ext teams having to do the level of in-depth testing they'll need to make sure Chrome is supported. Any word from the Xinha team on support timeframe yet?

I talked to the Xinha folks about it the other day -- the latest version, which we're apparently already using on Streetsblog, works OOB on Safari and Chrome. The older, hacked-together version on Openplans and LSN doesn't work on either. Doug will be upgrading everything in the coming weeks, so we should be all set.
