True statement, Daniel.

How much trust can I afford?  How much can I not afford?
There are reasons for VPNs and the use of non-COTS technology. 

Web services has a problem, a very big problem and Daniel

you about the buggedness or buggability of IE?  What 
about the rest of the framework?

BTW: This topic started showing up in CALS discussions 
about the same time as HTML browsers, so someone somewhere 
has had to explain it away before.
