As mentioned in the Development Update post, this will be implemented in 
the next version. Please keep in mind we're talking about version 0.2. 
We're still a long way away from the final version (planned for the 
summer of 2009).

redering differently though ;-)

You're both welcome!

As a side note, Chaoscope web site now appears on the Open Directory 
Project ( http://dmoz.org ). This is very good news since DMOZ is the 
main Web Directory information source for several portals, including Google.
