Which one? The one i posted or the one at ZERT? I haven't compared them 
yet, but i'm pretty sure they aren't the same.

Great! Looks like i was successful in convincing them to provide it :-) 
I've been corresponding back and forth with ZERT's operations manger 
about this and other improvements to their wonderful service, and i just 
sent him a new email yesterday, but you beat him to it in telling me the 
good news.

That's the same unregister workaround i posted. As indicated there, the 
javascript one has meanwhile been shown to be ineffective.
