He was only trying to be helpful, and added the kind of disclaimer one sometimes sees in these public fora to make sure nobody assumes that his comments reflect *anything*, including endorsement of any proposals or ideas, on the part of the company or organisation he is associated with. He happened to choose the word "legitimacy" where "endorsement" would probably have been better. I think it was obvious (at least it was to me) what his intent was. As for "rights", I think he's simply saying nobody can assume the right to expect anything in particular of Microsoft as a result of his comments. Again, I think it was clear what his intent was. I don't think his disclaimer needed a careful exegesis. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
