Ah yes. The gotcha. :-)

Cool, so now I face that icky sticky problem of "who first". Rather than
hoping that an implementation of an extension will be backported to the
platform of origin, I need to contact the vendor of that platform.

I can see where that'll get me, but it's worth a shot.

Nonetheless, your call is definitely the decisive blow to the idea. I
shoulda thought of it myself. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
