The Smart Tags issue was debated here a while back.  Apparently it was hot 
in quite a few places because M$ announced they were withdrawing Smart Tags 
from the next release of IE.  (We'll see how long that lasts and if they 
issue a silent upgrade incorporating Smart Tags at a later date ...)

The bone of contention most people had was if you did not want a site to be 
abused by Smart Tags, you had to go through every page and add additional 
code to *not* be part of it.  This flies in the face of common sense, 
courtesy and common decency where if you want to be part of something you 
*add* the feature.

You might want to question KillerTacticsJournal because their comments are 
about 60 days too late.  They are a bit slow on what's really happening.
