It's a little disturbing to have content in parentheses be significant in a format based on RFC 822, although we have broken this "rule" elsewhere (most notably in dependency fields, of course). I think this is a great idea, although I can't comment on the code implementation. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
