Confex.com translator: please review and improve

[Dave Hirsch]

I've just uploaded my first translator, Confex.js, which scrapes the
conference abstract pages on confex.com. Here is the page I worked to
import:

http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2008AM/finalprogram/abstract_149998.htm

It may be that the site has a wider variety of page styles than this,
and I'd be glad to improve on this if other page styles are found.

I'd be happy to be educated on translators further, particularly with
respect to Zotero 2.0. I ended up creating this in Zotero 1.x to
allow the use of Scaffold and Zotero.debug(). Is there some way to
get debugging statements our of Zotero 2.0 yet?

I fear that the code is quite kludgy; if you find a more elegant way
to specify page parts, please educate me.

Debugging statements can only be seen in the console in Zotero 2.0:

As mentioned in that thread, I've starting trying to update Scaffold
to make it compatible with Zotero 2.0, but I don't know how quick I'll
be able to wrap that up.
