Hi Evan,
I am curious why you are not curious. This seems a simple test to perform
and the results should have been posted immediately. Bear in mind you might
have perspective customers on this list who will view this inaction in not
so good a light no matter what your technical/personal arguments are. Would
you prefer that your customers to find out the hard and costly way that your
implementation does not handle such a situation? Normally architects have
pride in their creation and want to ensure that it meets and possibly beats
the competition no matter how trival the match is.
kind regards,
William Louth
