Comment(by filosofo):

 In `admin-bar.14772.diff` I've cleaned up a bunch of stuff for the admin
 bar.  `adminbar-files.tar.gz` has the actual files, in case that's easier
 to handle than a patch.

  * Moved the CSS to its own files, including rtl.  It's no longer
 dynamically generated.
  * Menu nav dropdowns are handled by CSS, not JS. I've tested in all the
 big browsers successfully, except for IE6.  I don't think it's worth
 messing with just for it, especially as it's had a degraded experience in
 WP starting with 3.0.
  * JS is reduced to just a few lines, with no library dependencies.
  * On the non-debug menu, JS does the following:
    * Replace the pre-filled search text.
    * scroll down for hash URL queries.
    * Append the admin bar as a child of the body element.
  * I cleaned up the appearance and spacing of the code and eliminated a
 bunch of unnecessary logic checks.

 '''TODO'''
  * I didn't try to clean up the debug file.  I think it looks terrible and
 doesn't belong in core.
  * The `load_user_locale_translations` method in `WP_Admin_Bar` needs to
 have WP.com-specific cruft removed, but I'm not sure what the cruft was
 supposed to do, so I left it alone.
