That sure is desirable. I am not clear between "instead" or "on top of" (or both).

I would be fierciely opposed to allow this and I remember Jonas Sicking was so as well.
This would certainly be a loss of freedom from users which I believe is not really nice.

But I realize that allowing 1 simply allows 2 as a special case.
We should make it more clear that sites that do that should ponder twice the loss of freedom thus removed.
