Almost always Arachne can wade through a mess of redundant HTML, Arachne
can even show a correct version of bulky HTML made by M$ Word and other
bloated text progs.
So is there any reason why Arachne should not handel very large useless
JS code if we had a workaround?
JS and HTML are a bit related and can be used mixed in one file.
