This whole set of arguements is one of the points Bill Manning was bringing up, yes? Clients and OS's and other things make oddball assumptions (museum really is www.museum.com for some versions of FF or IE or ....) Without adequate time to fix this in code (properly fix this) support calls and mis-direction are going to be an issue :( Now, lump on IDN foo!!! wee! How fast will IEX be out of normal use? FFY? who runs a largish traffic magnet and can tell when the last Windows 98 IE4 client hit them? Matt Petach, let's nominate him for that stat update :) -Chris
