I'm *not* trying to appoint myself chief justice, because I have
neither the desire nor the time to do the job. I am simply saying
that I'm going to express my opinion on this, and I'm telling you
what my opinion is. Some people will probably listen to me. Others
won't. My guess is the difference will be in the perceived validity of
my arguments and credibility.

I'm not so much upset with Eric's product as I am with the attitude
displayed. Frankly, this is the kind of we're-too-big-for-standards
behavior that we see frequently from Micro$oft, and I think it's totally
opposed to the cooperative spirit which built the Internet -- hence
my hostility.
In other words, I'm far less concerned (for the moment; I'll get back
to it) with the technical issue than I am with the arrogance displayed
by a company who ought to be leading the way *to* the standard, not
outrageously flaunting it.
