Get/set form elements from frontend?
by Chris Young
Is it possible, now we have DOM, to get the IDs of all form elements
on a page and get/set thir contents?
I'm thinking of from frontend code here, so a form or password manager
could potentially be written (I'm not thinking of writing one, just
whether I can put things in place so an external one is possible).

[Patch] Add support for parsing writing-mode property v1
by Caitlin Potter
This patch is intended to support the parsing and storage of the "writing-mode" property, which is one of the building blocks for vertical text in css (support for which is currently required by the HTML5 track element and obviously is a pretty important localization feature -- and just simply looks cool, too).
The layout side of things can be dealt with elsewhere, but first and foremost is getting libcss to support the property.
A link to the current draft is here http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes/ with the writing-mode property in particular described in http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes/#writing-mode
===
It is quite likely that there are things substantially wrong, including the lack of test data (I haven't figured out how to get the test suite to even build and run yet, `make test` seems to fail substantially here.)
So some review would be good, I'd like to get this approved by netsurf devs before trying to squeeze it into mozilla-servo.
Any and all feedback is much appreciated, thanks a bunch.

Is there any way to modify the defaults outside of nsoption_init?
I have to open a screen before I can set some of the values, but I
can't open the screen until options are initialised (as the parameters
are in there). So I'd like to set some defaults at a later time which
then get applied, unless of course the user has already set their own
preferences.
