Yeah, I'm learning that :P However — a small, pedantic part of me (not that small, actually) still wants to do these things, and just insist that the tool-creators (which sometimes includes myself) write "better" tools, rather than insisting that those working with those tools (also includes me) restrict how they can express information. Of course, I pay for that attitude occasionally, when a system gets used and abused in ways I didn't predict. — Jason
