Hmm, I don't think I used the words "useless" or "illegal" ... the points I was using were more subtle than that. Go back and read what "sensitive" data is, and why information publishers will often want to make it hard to mine such data. Read what Paul wrote about pay-for-value service providers. The statement is simple, and isn't usefully arguable: providers of information choose its formats for a variety of reasons, and making it accessible for purposes other than presentation isn't always one of them. People who want to build "information consumer" systems need to address the (creative?) tensions with providers of that information. It doesn't seem too workable to demand that all system decisions be made by the builders of clients ... which is how I'm reading far too many of the comments on this thread! - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
