Robert, you are missing the point. The scenario I am talking about is a
typical, comsumer oriented ISP scenario. In this scenario I am not in a
position to tell my users "go read a Howto" and neither am I able to control
their client settings.

In the scenario I am discussing right now, I try to find a way to adopt to
what they have. Regardless of the client they use I always want to give them
a consistent view on their data.
