IT will render it... Um, no. EOTC is not an earlier version of EOTL. EOTL1.1 is completely independent; it currently refers interested parties to the EOTC spec to give some historical basis for the padding sections. IE does not render EOTL files, it renders EOTC files. The EOTL format is just created in such a way that (nonconformant) legacy IEs interpret them in such a way. Future IEs, and other browsers, will correctly distinguish between the two formats. You also haven't addressed just what rights are being managed by ensuring that a file is formatted correctly before attempting to render it. ~TJ
