I think *this* comment is unfair to Alan. I read Alan as saying "don't assume that users can rely on an SM present". If I'm right, that is a far cry from tearing the community into parts. I think you would admit that not everyone uses SM. So you didn't ding Alan (who is doing really heroic work for the community) for simply reminding us that a SM-based approach would not serve the whole community equally. Did you impute some other motive to him? — John
