Ugh, sorry about this email. I was irritable from a lack of good sleepand waking up to a whole slew of posts here about extra complications,just as I was starting to feel we were at last approaching a kind of"cross the t's and dot the lowercase j's" state where there wasn't muchleft to add. But I have no idea what your intended tone was and it maywell have just been tongue in cheek. Mostly I was just annoyed atlearning that these data:// URLs exist. I hadn't been aware of them.And frankly...what the hell? Who thought it was a good idea to turn aharmless way to indicate *where* some data can be found into a way toshoehorn in the data itself? What are we supposed to use in a contextwhere we don't want that to be a possibility? Bah!
