Thanks Thomas. It was a typo in the style sheet. Hit refresh and it
should be OK.
There's a bug with Chrome (maybe other WebKit browsers). The vote
track is sometimes truncated on the right. I'm working on a fix.

I should probably correct that at some point. With a day's work, I
could make it *roughly* the right size. But first try the animated
version below. Let me know if it's still a priority.

I spent a couple of days coding this. I figured it was the worth the
effort because the transitions were just too disorienting. Try it out
here: http://zelea.com/w/G/p/sandbox
That should clarify the mechanism. New users won't understand the
*purpose* at first, but that's probably OK. They'll understand when
they see it operating in the context of a votespace scene. I'll code
that part next.
