[webkit-dev] Desperate for webkit help

[Mark]

Well, it's been a few months since a posted this message and filed this
bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18539
We haven't been able to find a work around at all, every single thing we do
doesn't work. So I'm making a plea again, can anyone please address this
issue?? I'm so desperate for help now that we're close to shutting down a
project that's been in the works for almost 2 years because of this one
single + boundary problem. I'll happily pay anyone who agrees to fix the
problem.

regards
