Great, I'm happy its working for you, I've been using it myself and
enjoying it.  Hopefully now that it is ELPA installable it will be
easier for more people to try it out.

Yes, the above is needed to hide the raw Org-mode text until it is
edited.  You can customize the org-ehtml-client-style variable to set
whatever CSS you like as the default.  Similarly it should be fairly
easy for anyone fluent in JavaScript to hack org-ehtml-client-js if they
want to try different behavior.  One of my main goals in writing
org-ehtml was to keep things as small, simple and hackable as possible.

Oh great, I used to use that same browser plugin, but for the last year
or so I've gone whole hog and switched to using conkeror as my web
browser. http://conkeror.org/
