The website of the editors draft is freezing Firefox. The freeze lasts for
about 120 seconds (2 min). 

After being frozen, the various status notifications that are added to the
page. 

When the page is loaded with javascript disabled, Firefox does not freeze.

The problem should be fixed so that users are not subjugated to having the
browser taken over by javascript. 

Although unrelated, the page also frequently will display javascript errors,
such as:

| fixBrokenLink is not defined
| [Break on this error] fixBrokenLink();
| Overview.html (line 281)

I suggest instead "fixBrokenSite".
