What if big battle reports like that could be expanded/shrank? Lots of people don't care, but some do, and that would be the best of both worlds.
That's a good point. I don't know what is possible in that area. I know that the use of things like Javascript has intentionally been held to a minimum to maintain compatibility with, for example, mobile devices and tablets. (The new "marked" message feature, for example, has some compatibility issues with mobile devices.) Maybe Anaris or Foundation could address this issue.
