JSAMP update

[Mark Taylor]

Hi Pierre,

it's quite a small item, though as usual with these browser things
a bit technically intricate, but yes I'd be happy to explain it
at the interop.

I'm currently considering whether I can justify the CO2 to get to Sydney,
so it's likely that I will be attending remotely.
But I can do a remote presentation if that's OK with you.
