I'm hoping for some more replies to this one. Only one person offered a 
summary, which was written by Andrew Clover. That summary is good as far as 
it goes, but judging from all the recent posts there clearly are other 
issues with this hack.

So, can anyone summarize the hack and its benefits and issues, where it 
works and where it doesn't? And does anyone know why that canonical source 
of browser-hiding-hacks doesn't have the SBMH? (Is it that SBMH hasn't been 
tested enough, or that there are in fact problems with it in some browsers?)
