Worst bit is that this stuff makes it possible to shove around personal data in defined data formats (meaning you go to a shop and IE will transmit your address to the shop without you having to enter it somewhere). Yes, you can set which shop gets which information, but why make it yet again easier for profilers? Marc - -- The intensity and complexity of life, attendant upon advancing civilization, have rendered necessary some retreat from the world, and man, under the refining influence of culture, has become more sensitive to publicity, so that solitude and privacy have become more essential to the individual; but modern enterprise and invention have, through invasions upon his privacy, subjected him to mental pain and distress, far greater than could be inflicted by mere bodily injury.
