-	 * Minify Style and Script
-	 *
-	 * Reduce excessive size of CSS/JavaScript content.  To remove spaces this
-	 * script walks the string as an array and determines if the pointer is inside
-	 * a string created by single quotes or double quotes.  spaces inside those
-	 * strings are not stripped.  Opening and closing tags are severed from
-	 * the string initially and saved without stripping whitespace to preserve
-	 * the tags and any associated properties if tags are present
-	 *
-	 * Minification logic/workflow is similar to methods used by Douglas Crockford
-	 * in JSMIN. http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jsmin.html
-	 *
-	 * KNOWN ISSUE: ending a line with a closing parenthesis ')' and no semicolon
-	 * where there should be one will break the Javascript. New lines after a
-	 * closing parenthesis are not recognized by the script. For best results
-	 * be sure to terminate lines with a semicolon when appropriate.
