If authors concern themselves with coding around bugs in beta software, they impede the work of the beta testers (you know - 63% of the Web browsing population) and do a disservice to the developers, who need to know when spec-compliant inputs break their software. This is true to a lesser degree with dot releases, isn't it? Users must understand that if they're not running the latest dot release, they can expect to encounter problems, for which fixes exist already. __________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:fahrner@pobox.com
