	Purpose: 
		Obfuscate email addresses (and links) from spambots. Converts a span in the form of
			<span class="electronic-mail">user[at]domain|com</span>
		into
			<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>
		at runtime using client-side processing with the DOM. Browsers without JavaScript or 
		DOM support will see the readable, but unclickable, span shown above.
