We may be the minority, but my experience is we have a pretty good record at spotting where the pinch points might come up in proposed expansions/ changes. http://apple/ is going to break a bunch of shit. (Ok, it might or might not break actual browsers, but I have seen "require at least one dot or assume it's not a domain name" in *lots* of code; the inability to put sjobs@apple in your address book will not be popular.) Interstate-level traffic engineering types are not a big political bloc, either... but no one ignores them when building Interstates. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
