Dec 7: Updated to reflect Slate shortening from "View As Single Page" to "Single Page"

This script is based on a similar script for the NYTimes site from Fat Knowledge. It looks at the current address and page body, determines if it should be re-paginated to a single page, and then reloads with a single page version if appropriate.

I prefer this method of handling the URL on the access side because re-writing inbound links (the method that the other Slate single page view userscript available employs) doesn't allow for handling of links from the fly-out menubar at the top of the site (or inbound rss links). There is a slight flicker when you initially land on a page and it refreshes to single page view, but I think it's worth it.
