These days, the reason to fix strict warnings is not so much 

performance, but to fix subtle bugs which the browser

is warning you about.

Incidentally, if you see the words "anonymous function", that usually 

means you declared the function as:

foo = function() {
}

Mozilla prefers:

foo = function foo() {
}

JavaScript strict warning: 

http://demo.wikiwyg.net/wikiwyg/lib/Wikiwyg.js, line 92: anonymous 

function does not always return a value

...

These are just first-glance warnings.  There may be more.

Hi Alex,

Good to see some life on this list. I'm just a user of wikiwyg, with 

very little Javascript knowledge, so it would be very helpful to me if 

there were patches posted as well as bug reports. Do you plan on doing that?

If you are modifying a separate SVN mirror, posting the patches would 

also help to prevent unnecessary divergence between the copies.

Regards, Dave
