Yes, this is a client issue. Remember that documents have a private metadata field that can be used for pretty much anything. If you could convince people to standardize on what is put in there, or at least detect when your system is being used, you can use private metadata and not affect the server at all. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
