Has MM weeded out most of those problems with MX in the 2 updaters?

Imho any good tag-based language engine _will_ choke to death (or better
gracefully :) on unquoted variables. So for my part I see this as a failing
on the part of Allaire / MM. Flash I think does a good job by refusing to
acknowledge unquoted attributes in it's imported html. Now if we could just
convince M$ and the other big players in the wysiwyg editor department that
attributes should be quoted, we'd be good. :)

I don't know about sending MM a message. But for my part it'd be nice to be
able to distribute self-installing CD's with my CMS and I'm hoping I can get
it to work on BD (preferably with a single codebase) since I'm more inclined
to think that New Atlanta will be more appreciative of having me as a VAR
than MM will.
