I believe Jonathan Marsh from Microsoft replied to this list
that what this thread continues to go on about is a doc
bug and not a "wacky innovation". :-)
For the record.

| Don't believe that for a minute. They put features in because they have
| innovative people who dream up ideas (sometimes good, sometimes wacky) and
