Thanks for featuring this plugin, Justin. It's been on my wishlist/to-do list for several years and I finally blocked out enough time to put together a 1.0. I think the approach that I ended up is actually more efficient than I had originally envisioned.

Interestingly, this is the most internally-complex plugin that I've created in several years. The layers of attempts to maximize compatibility for older content, accessibility, and speed, are well worth the resulting simplicity. The best plugins tend to be as simple as possible. The jQuery dependency is more of a shortcut than a specific need. Fortunately there aren't any other external library dependencies. The script is set up with the potential to transition to pure JS in the future, especially if there's demand for that adjustment.
