Yes, I agree with this, but I'll bet as soon as we put it in, someone will
say "how come it doesn't index directories!" ;-) You're right though and
let's take one thing at a time.

That would be wonderful. We could also start off with just the
extension-based MIME files, which would help a lot as well. The only
problem for us is how to figure out what's server-parsed!

Yes this would be something to try. We did it line-by-line before, then
changed it to the current method to make it more like the HTTP method. As
you know, we do a lot of other stuff line-by-line! :-)
