I expect that Apple are not the only ones to do this; for example the Mozilla calendar client does the same thing iirc. Meanwhile, is 'don't trivially subclass http to hack up a despatch mechanism' already clearly covered by an excisting TAG finding or do we need to make an explicit mention. The clearer and more direct the statement we can show to 'someone with influence' the better. -- Chris mailto:chris@w3.org
