The Internet Explorer plug-in approach they're using is quite reminicent of
the new.net folks' methods. The Internet is more than just the web, just as
there are many more browsers out there than just Microsoft's.
It's so nice Verisign is pushing a solution for COM/NET. I have to wonder
if we'll have a different solution in .ORG, another in .BIZ, etc. Folks,
this is why we cooperate with competitors and produce standards.
