It might also be worth noting that it's okay to repeat authorization
groups in Site.AuthUser.  Thus:

    @editors: alice bob carol dave eve isaac justin mallory oscar

can also be specified across separate lines as:

    @editors: alice bob carol
    @editors: dave eve
    @editors: isaac justin mallory
    @editors: oscar

It's unfortunately a bug in various browsers that don't know how
to handle the CSS 'overflow' property.  (Notably this affects IE,
but even Firefox has its own set of issues.)
