Areas For Improvement:

1).	Fix remaining memory leaks! Obvious ones have been plugged. Need a Javascript guru to look at this please!
2).	Internationalization, for example, improve Right-To-Left text layout.
3).	Use FeedsManager AsyncLoad per Feed via event handler added to FeedsWatcher: couldn't get this to work per Feed.
4).	Page monitoring: add commands to auto navigate website forms to point of interest.
5).	Fix auto clicking: sometimes flyout doesn't appear after hovering.
6).	Use themes, e.g. to change palette, background color etc.

Any volunteers for the above?
