They do if you're microsoft. How many times have we seen over the years when microsoft takes a perfectly good protocol, then completely rewrites it to suit their purposes (pap/chap anyone)? That's just the first one that comes to mind. I'm sure I could find more if I thought about it for a few minutes. It's always possible to redefine a standard if you have enough clout/muscle behind the redefinition. Microsoft isn't the only company who has done this in the past, just one of the biggest. It doesn't surprise me in the least that it happens other places too. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
