Adding support for document.applets wouldn't be much work - actually 
supporting applets would be.  Certainly not impossible but it would be a 
fair bit of work.

Opening a feature request is always the best solution but unless someone 
else steps up to help, I doubt there will be applet support for quite 
some time.  JavaScript support still needs a lot of work and that seems 
to be what most people are needing.  There are also some other features 
that I personally need which will get my attention first.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but I only have so much spare 
time to work on this. :-)
