Hi Hiroki,

   Thanks for the feedback!. Sadly i cannot handle this request since i
   do not understand enough of the XSLT and such to be able to do so.

   If you have any great ideas you are free to use the current usergroups
   that i rewrote to make it perfect. Ofcourse i would like to helpout and
   learn from it.

   This is also for any other person that has wishes. My clue about this is
   too little :-).

   Cheers!
