Stefan, Besides, I am not sure, to what extent you tested any of the clients, but the full W3C implementation recognizes some actual details of browser and OS (like exact OS version) while the Qualifier will only return what's in the XML data files. I personally don't see why users should have to wait till a still (at best) months away "2.0" JSON based version to get this right when a decent and reasonable look into the actual UA string gives you all you need;-O Reza thinks it's not worth fixing that now, and Qualifier is "his baby" so if you want to improve that, ask to help him with it (just like Volkan tried with other aspects like performance)
