Currently the site is very much work in progress, because that's my
development site as well :-)
I have refactored it to AJAX yesterday night, will post a new patch to
Jira today or tomorrow, I think.

Yes, the behaviour might be a bit irritating.
Currently, it zooms in, if you apply other than publication year filters
(other facets like format, language, subject...), but doesn't for the
publication year filter (you can see the applied publication year filter
in the selected area, but to be able to zoom out again, all years of
publication with all other filters applied are displayed, otherwise you
couldn't "zoom out" without removing the filter completely). Hmmm, does
someone understand this? :-)
