This is a neat article, but I feel I should point out that 
they are misusing the term "mosaics". The article is really 
about the stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral. It's 
a similar art form, but not the same as medieval mosaics, 
which were applied to walls, ceilings and floors (not 
windows) - and mostly in Italy, not France.

--Giuliana, nit-picky mosaic artist
