I can definitely see Apple's argument of revealing the details of FST
construction as a big "no no" when you're talking about existing file system
formats (i.e. DOS 3.3).  What about 3rd parties who want to design new file
systems (i.e. UNIX)?

My vote is definitely NO for those who want to forge ahead and beat Apple at
producing FST's for existing filesystems (DOS 3.3, Apple Pascal, etc.).  But a
definite YES vote for those companies wishing to explore new filesystem
designs which (hopefully) can enhance IIGS computing.
