v0.10 Reminder: Slide-to-read

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have been trying out the latest version from the Chrome store and wanted to 
write up several observations of issues. I know that you are working on all of 
this, but wanted to make sure that these issues didn't fall through the cracks.

Slide-to-read does not currently work. This may have some issues with the new 
algorithm. In particular, there is no list of all highlight-able elements. 
Perhaps you still need to build a list for Slide-to-read? Also, text node + 
inline orphans don't have easy handles like the span wrappers.

We should probably also make text unselectable--at least when Slide-to-read is 
on. There is a discussion here: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2310734/how-to-make-html-text-unselectable
and here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select

Slidetoread is added in latest version, and will be released to store soon.

The slidetoread algorithm does not use a list of nodes, but instead gets the 
touched x & y abs positions, and asks the document what element is there. It 
then checks intelligently to see if it is selecteable (not a parent of 
finer-grain elements).

I will not be supporting slidetoread on orphan nodes. It is near impossible, 
and impossible if we're not allowing persistent span wrapping on the page.
