Well, given that you've eliminated 2 useful attributes by which such an attack could be identified and/or filtered, I'd say there is an immediate benefit for the kiddies to make use of your version. And as far as releasing the code, you could at least have broken it in a couple of simple ways so that someone would have to have half a brain to make it work. -c
