I think I understand what Paul is getting at and I agree with all his suggestions. I also take his point that people will blame the tool that correctly fails where others don't if the spec is not clear. That's also interesting about the MIME type--and I agree we should let that sleeping dog snore until we can do the right thing, which will be 2.0 at the earliest. Cheers, E. -- W.
