 * It seems jQuery is required for this plugin to work? I couldn’t find it in the
   installation package and it’s not mention anywhere on the plugin’s site.
 * I already use Prototype so I don’t really want to include another JS library.
   Is it really necessary to depend on jQuery for such a seemingly simple task?

 * you’re rigth.
 * i fixed loading jQuery in version 0.0.4 (if only i could find out when jQuery
   was added to WP… bummer) – and also added a copy of jquery for backwards compatibility
 * this IS an early version of the plugin, maybe i will make it work with other 
   js-libs as well in the future…

 * Thanks.
 * I’d prefer no dependency on any JS library. They add a lot of download overhead.
 * This plugin should be possible by using straight DOM functions… right?

 * personally i find that 31kB overhead quite bearable given the joy jQuery brings
   coding-whise. also chances are good that jQuery gets loaded by other plugins 
   anyways (of course not all of those use WP’s built in loading mechanism which
   would greatly reduce redundancies).
