If it's currently not possible to have several emit()s it's a bug. I 
really need a JavaScript test suite, not only Erlang tests for the vtree.

Kind of funny that so many people discovered this bug within a few days.
Normally if the code doesn't reach an emit() it won't show up in the 
index. I will fix it.

That's the plan. Though I haven't had the time yet. First step will be 
to move to trunk, and the reorganizing the code.
