Yay, documentation. It was quite readable.

However, the 'animation' doesn't work in Safari, because it is treating
the inter-frame references as pointing to just *below* each image, which
is entirely reasonable given the definition of floated boxes and that
you're using inline anchors.

I'd like to fix this, and I know how, but the repository is not up to
date with the web site contents. Please update it.

(When I do, would you mind if I changed the images to be not floating?
It seems unreasonable to me to expect the window widths which would make
floating useful, and intermediate sizes will create one-word-wide
columns.)
