I feel that generic software should implement > these as MUST > and MUST NOT, Well, this rule is phrased as a requirement on the content (and hence the content author), not on the software. And I don't think the software has any business knowing or asking who the content is being exchanged between and making judgements as to whether it's a public interchange or not: it should mind its own business. In fact, I'm fed up with software that tries to muck about with my content, and I don't intend writing any that mucks about with other people's. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
