Implementation stopped in the engine when I couldn't decide whether the
engine should be doing that much work or not. Was the check on the
internetsomething the BA should do or should the engine provide a
default
implementation. Since I didn't have an immediate answer, I fell back to one
of the original Burn design guidelines: "If it can be done in the BA, let
the BA do it."
This is something that can be revisited in WiX v3.8 or WiX v4.0.
Note: that original design guideline was in place when there was an
enormous amount of work that had to be accomplished in Burn. It is still a
reasonable good guideline but will change as Burn and the BA relationship
matures, I'm sure. <smile/>
