So, what's the difference about Safari?  If they've gone to the effort  
to get it working with a frankly minority sport like Opera, I presume  
that Safari is in some way hard, rather than just untested.  The  
implication is that Safari does something that interacts badly with  
Phorm's methods, and either breaks things or reveals the man behind  
the curtain.  I've not done any development for web apps since CERN  
httpd was the very thing for a man about town, but does anyone with  
more current experience know of any wrinkles?
