[Seaside-dev] JQuery tests and flow

[Dale Henrichs]

It turns out that Seaside-Development supplies WAPrettyPrintedDocument which is used to display the html source for the page...Flow is not needed at all ...

Offhand, I don't know which parts of Seaside-Development are truly dependent upon Flow, but I assume that more than WAPrettyPrintedDocument could be split out into a flow-free development package...

I will spend some more time digging into this to see if I can find a clean split ...

| If it's relatively easy, sure. :)
