I think a server-side solution is the way to go in the long run, but
since one probably won't be available for 7.4, a contrib module seems
like a reasonable stopgap offering. Contrib is our traditional refuge
for "not ready for prime time" code, no? The fact that it's a client
and doesn't touch server-side code actually works in its favor here
--- there's nothing to rip out after we have a better answer.
