------- Additional Comments from W. Andy Carrel <wac at google.com>
This patch backs out the fix in bug 7445 in favor of a solution that better
matches the behavior of other browsers. There is also fix for a problem with
UString::append(UChar &) that caused it to, under certain circumstances, not
actually append the character.
