You did better than I did. I got 7 in the original

Yes, I was aiming at that sort of generality.  Putting bold text in the
middle of plain text counts too.

I'm waiting for the official (non-beta) release, although I might
use it for this round of the IRTC (for a media sampling feature).

Hmm, 9 for the first test, 16 for the second.... (and two points for something I
