I'm the owner of the sourceforge project you mentioned. That project was 
to provide WF2 support for MSIE. Because Mozilla, Opera and Apple were 
expected to provide native support we didn't bother to make the library 
cross-platform.

There is a cross-browser implementation of the repetition model here:

The repetition model implementation was written by Weston Ruter.
