Yes! Thinking about it a little more, I know that OpenAttribute
currently has different _javascript_ for Opera, Chrome, and Firefox.

It'd be great to see those unified so that it gives consistent output
across platforms.

Sorry I didn't get the idea.
As far as I know, for different browsers we need to have different _javascript_s because different browser API to create extensions are not the same.
 

That's probably not enough on its own for GSoC, but
maybe it's a starting point?
