As a web developer, I am STRICTLY and completely opposed to this. This is bad on so many levels I can hardly think of them all, let alone list them all. The internet has enough closed and proprietary code as it is. This will hurt open source projects, not to mention the developers that implement them. You should NOT take your cues from companies, companies should be taking cues from you on what internet standards should be. Big business does NOT want standards unless THEY control the standard, and the standard is proprietory. We have run into this before with GIF, and the lesson should have been learned then. This is just a bad idea, and you will lose the support of countless developers over this. Amy | amy@totalcsinc.com Network Administrator Total Computer Solutions, Inc Marion, IN
