Lastest (possibly last) icommit of unified backend branch available.

I've committed the latest batch of changes to the unified backend branch which you can check out using svn:

svn co http://svn.xinha.python-hosting.com/branches/unified_backend xinha_ub

The most notable fix in this version is the workaround for the FireFox designMode="on" exception that has been plaguing this codebase for some time.

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207842

and discussed in this thread:

    http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=229

In addition I've put alot of work into EnterParagraphs to try to tame it a bit. The code should be alot more readable and may make for a better starting point for someone working on it than the original. I've fixed several bugs having to do with terminal cases (beginning and end of document/selection) which should largely eliminate the <a href="..."></a> problems we've been setting.

It's by far not all the way there yet but it does seem to be "better", at least in the cases I've tested. I have lists partially supported, but there are still many cases where they fail.

Getting EnterParagraphs to work correctly in all cases is going to be a tremendous amount of work and it'll largely be useless if similar support in MSIE doesn't work identically so for the moment I've defaulted mozParaHandler to built-in in this branch.

This version of the unified backend branch should work in MSIE now. Couple of oops's on my part was the reason it wasn't.

Gogo has identified a race condition in the code I put together. It works but right now it looks like there may be a potential problem.

I haven't seen any problems with it in all my testing over here but I agree there's an issue that will have to looked into. Right now it's not clear why the code is working as well as it is.
