But I don't think a domain controller is necessarily an authority for
browser protocol information. What reasons do we have to believe that you
did not just "lucked out" in getting a machine that happend to have useful
information? What does Windows NT or Windows 98 do? I would rather stick
to observed behavior if we have a choice.
