blur() alert in r595

[C. M. Sperberg-McQueen]

Just a note for eventual action by Alain and for users of r595 who may
be as startled by it as I was: there is some (debugging?) code in r595
which raises a Javascript alert when it sees certain events, so the user
is confronted with a dialog box giving the host's name and reading "Blur?".

My initial instinct when this happened to me this morning was to assume
that my machine had been hacked (too much time in too many
Internet cafes? aggressive neighbors?); no panic, however, is necessary.

Concretely, this happens in XsltForms.globals.blur() when the try
wrapped around this.focus.blur() fails (ie it's in the catch). So far,
I've experienced it only in Safari, when clicking to move from one
textarea to the next.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is the first time I heard about this debugging instruction being
activated.

I will remove this alert() call.

Thank you for your feedback!
