Michael, I am just trying to solve a problem here. I don't believe I've got the best solution. However, to get to your objection... somewhere in this thread, I discussed about relaxing this constraint. I said "maybe we could at least guarantee the feature will be *worked on*". I'm sure a good compromise can be found. > We will have the same situation as currently commercial/proprietary vendors > have.
