It's anathema to building standards-compliant and hence interoperable systems that allow the internet as a whole to function correctly while each of us make different choices in terms of providers, hardware, and software to use. If someone has a good argument for why non-RFC-compliant behavior is desirable, then they should voice that to the appropriate communities and move towards revising the applicable standards so that everyone and every system can be updated to support that change, not simply go off and do something that creates unexpected and frankly incorrect behaviors and hence breaks the interoperability that we all rely on every day and without which we would have no internet. - mdh Matt Harris VP OF INFRASTRUCTURE Follow us on LinkedIn! matt.har...@netfire.net 816-256-5446 www.netfire.com
