And one more thing... ;-)
I just noticed that if I'm using disable-output-escaping (even only for the 
content of the h2-tag (as discussed earlier)) BXE doesn't want to open pages 
for editing. It gets stuck at the splash screen and Firefox complanes "no 
'body' element found in your external XHTML document". (When opening 
something else BXE complanes about something which I haven't been able to 
read since it disappears as the next page loads.)

  cheers, Simon
PS. Another more kind of cosmetic thing which I noticed is that when using 
BXE, the stuff outside of the editable area seems to be viewed in the default 
language and not the language of the page being edited. Doesn't do much harm, 
but could be confusing for some users.
