I am feeling generous.  It's in my best interest since over 50 % of my teaching
load is often mediated via Blackboard.  I do not believe that Bb has a
bug-reporting mechanism for users.  I reported the information about Webkit and
Bb to our local admin to pass along.  I hope that gets through.

I believe that someone in the developer group might begin actively monitoring
cases where Bb (and WebCT) break with the Webkit.  When I tried first to track
down the eror, I found most of the error reports by searching for Safari and
Blackboard rather than Webkit and Blackboard, but I think the ones I found were
really the engine rather than the front end--in the way folks refer to Firefox
but not Gecko when they see browser bugs.  

Anyway, finding links such as http://west.wwu.edu/atus/blackboard/browser.shtml
might help developers track down bugs that never get reported.  So many of the
schools take the approach that users should switch browsers.  For what it's
worth, I am no fan of Blackboard, neither are most of my students.
