[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 38015 - add Debug.write(), animation stress test to LEGALS

[Elliot Winard]

I'd be happy to do this if it's the best use of my limited legals time.

Debug.addText() isn't in the docs.  I use Debug.write() often and kept
scratching my head trying to remember if I should print() write() trace() or
what in DHTML targetland.

Maybe I'll talk to Max about plugging this in in the right place.
