Hmmmm... - not too common, so it seems.

Well, MS often tend to be the spanner in the ointment when it comes to
standards compliance, but even if you accept all of those MS vagaries,
this is still counter evidence to the blanket "There is no such thing as
path security" statement.  Granted, the practical worth of it today
(with the browser issues in evidence) is limited. ;)


OK, if that's the counter example, I can live with it ;-)


What is the final verdict, the original topic of this thread? 
The Corsaire article - is there a fundamental error in the
