That's great information.  It really is a tradeoff.

One more piece of information:

Dansguardian, against all reason and RFCs, assumes that HTTP headers are
capitalized in a very pretty way.  For example, it breaks if you say
"host: www.mcnabbs.org" instead of "Host: www.mcnabbs.org".  QT's HTTP
libraries prefer lowercase and can have trouble with Dansguardian.
Hopefully they'll fix this soon (I reported it as a bug, but who knows
what that will do).
