## Damn you Firefox and even more so you, Google, MSN.

I have given in. As you might have known, the map descriptions were pure XML rendered through XSL in your browser. Well, the first annoyance with Firefox’s incomplete XSLT support, but I worked around it (with Javascript, yuck). The much bigger issue is that most search engines did not index those XML files for some reason. Just try Google or MSN/Bing. Yahoo is the great exception, I like Yahoo.

So I just decided to go back to HTML. The spmaps.html now links to the new files. Hey, no need for Javascript or the comment IFrame on the description pages any more. That’s nice. Nothing should be broken, but please shout if.
The XML files will stay, the only difference with them (if you use a better browser than Firefox) is that the comments are all black. Won’t fix that.

In the end it’s more convenient for you, a bit more work for me and hopefully a somewhat fair representation in the popular search engines some day.
