Downloads [2] and examples [3] are also available. Protozilla also carries with it certain disadvantages: it makes it way too easy for people to start using URI schemes as redirects, e.g. myscheme:ABC could be used to reference http://www.example.org/example/ABC - I can see some of the Wiki people starting to use wiki: already :-) [1] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/ [2] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/download.html [3] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/examples.html -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
