If it wasn't a sort of a bug (some omission in the original PMS?), then I suppose this could also be described as The Three 'E's: embrace (a supposed standard), extend (possibly in an incompatible, hard to replicate ways), and extinguish (well, harder to do with FLOSS, but you can probably see where I got these 'e's ;) ). I think that also Microsoft calls that 'innovation'. :D Let's just leave this to the Council. These semantic-pedantic "is not, is too"-discussions with Mr. McCreesh never seem to end as both sides keep to the logic that if you don't quickly reply to comments which are "wrong", then your silence means that the other one was "right". There should be some kind of eternal loop detection for these threads ... :P -- Arttu V.
