<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Good question, well asked. <br>
<br>
It appears that, even though DXSpider has at least twice as many
nodes as all the other software put together, that does not mean
that I am a defacto standard. Not invented here (wherever that
is)?<br>
<br>
Perhaps I should stop bothering to try to get some of consensus
for change and just do it. No change is ever forthcoming after
all. <br>
