Are you running tests against jacks at all? Jacks should have tests
for most front-end things. Generally, any front end bug fix will fix
one or more jacks failures. It would be great if your fixes could
un-xfail the newly passing tests...
I can send info on setting up jacks if you need it.

At one point I tried to get rid of the special cases. This turned out
to be much more invasive than one might expect :-(. Eventually I gave
