Ah, it' s funny. I remember reading your stuff on this before. I guess if you want you can leave this closed, on the argument that Gerfried made, of "technical correctness". However, I think that is short-sighted and unfriendly to users. I personally still think it's a (non-major) problem with www.debian.org. After all, the browser as shipped comes with en_US enabled (I believe) and this does cause some problems when seeing that particular page (why that one and not others I dunno). It doesn't seem to be right that in Debian, the mozilla browser as shipped causes problems with viewing www.debian.org itself! Perhaps it's a mozilla bug if it really does come shipped this way. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
