Chris,

Your maintaining of a chris/amiga-hubbub-lib-compat branch is driving a lot of
us crazy. Firstly because you create a bunch of commit messages for "keeping
up" with master and secondly because you managed to corrupt master with your
"compat" change.

I have resynchronised master of libdom with master of hubbub to un-do your change.

Why are you maintaining some kind of 'compat' branch at this point? We've
never made an ABI/API commitment and as such we're shouldn't be trying to
maintain "compatibility" not least of which because there's no way for a modern
libhubbub to know that you're not passing a script callback anyway so it'll
jump off into oblivion given the opportunity.

Unless you have a really *really* good reason for this, I ask that you stop
maintaining these branches because they're clearly causing you confusion at
times; and they're definitely causing us confusion/annoyance.

D.
