What do you find appaling? The Oxford-related information, or
how we teach here? If the latter, then yes, we deliver them
(students) the Kantor (not sure about spelling:-)) theorem and
the related questions during their first 5 months of study.... And
there's nothing appaling about it, since it's one of the basics of
the analysis... We basically follow the Smirnov's course, that is.
Therefore the "absolutely continuous functions" are postponed
to the 3rd year... together with related Lebesque theorems etc.
If, OTOH, you find the Oxford info appaling, then I'm on your
side:-)
