What does everyone else think? I implemented it. It is absolutely necessary that the user know we can't possibly protect their anonymity if they use a browser that doesn't respect HTTP mime types. The other point - well... maybe we should do a release. It will have several really major outstanding issues: the datastore corruption bug being the main one, and I'm very suspicious of the anonymity filter, which needs to be rewritten as an allow-good-content rather than kill-bad-content filter (this is all about blocking HTML that might make your browser run scripts or contact the external internet, both of which would ruin your anonymity). So... we can't do a 0.5, but 0.4.5 might make sense. > > --Reuben Balik
