That's not what I'm saying. If you're authoring for the Web, or setting up a Web server, you're already pretty smart, and you're already playing nicely by a number of rules whether you know it or not. I'm just saying that there are other rules that should also be followed, and we as implementers all have a responsibility to ensure we do our best to help our users respect them. I'm also saying that if we don't, we make our own jobs more difficult because many of these rules are designed to help the Web evolve gracefully over time. Mark. -- Mark Baker.
