Finished so far

• A very basic JS renderer to display element
  overlays
• Preliminary customization of browser chrome

TODO

• Retrieve and preprocess link statistics
• Make Opera fetch statistical data with UserJS
• Make overlay placement sane (overlap avoidance)
• Provide some PNG file generator to get all the
  different colour shades on demand
• OR
• Try SVG instead

Potential pitfalls

• Handling page reflows properly
• Dodging browser bugs
