-----------
I'm not in a very wordy mood.  I also don't know why svn update doesn't
work for the web site.  But I totally don't have time to investigate
right now.

+<tr><td><p>Gaim currently uses a home-grown text rendering widget called GtkIMHtml.  It has various minor drawbacks, including poor performance with large numbers of tags.  The WYSIWYG text editing code is also a bit delicate and took quite a bit of tuning before it was able to generate HTML that isn't crazy.</p>
