* This file depends on:
* • jQuery (tested against v1.4.2)
* http://jquery.com/
* • jQuery doTimeout (tested against v1.0)
* by "Cowboy" Ben Alman
* http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-dotimeout-plugin/
*
* Pages that include this file must:
* • support the following URI formats:
* (1) …/page/$w/ loads page $w
* (2) …/pages/$x/ loads $x pages of articles (1 - $x)
* (3) …/pages/$y-$z/ loads pages $y through $z
* • provide articles on its pages enclosed in an <article> tag
* NOTE: nesting <article>s is not supported and has not been tested
* • provide a last <article id="more"> containing an anchor referencing the
* next page in the series
* NOTE: the href in the more link must match type (2) above
*
* Basic logic of this file:
* + if viewport is one page or less from the bottom of the document:
* • hide the last <article id="more">
* • add another containing infScrLoadingFeedback
* • load the next page in the background and parse it for <article>s
* • remove the loading feedback
* + if articles were successfully loaded from the next page:
* • append them to the current page after last <article>
* • update history to reflect range of pages now displayed
* - otherwise:
* • unhide the last <article id="more"> to allow retry
