I think his point was that people are given the false impression that they are saving bandwidth, when abuse of id's is increasing bandwidth use by an order of magnitude. I am not against "compression" per se though I'd personally rather not see it happen. The same thing happened with Postscript, but in the Postscript case at least all the code is usually not on a single line and there's a residual amount of minimum readability. -- cheers, -ambrose
