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.
