Let's remember this the next time we hear developers getting castigated for 
breaking the rules set forth in Inside Macintosh.  Sometimes people obey
the rules, then Apple changes the rules, and then we read articles about
how programs fail to work with new software from Apple because the authors
didn't follow the rules.  Sometimes yes, but not always.
