It should make the code base easier to maintain, cleaner, and safer. Because nobody has a 32bit computer nowadays??? Similarly, you got any empirical evidence to back up the "... safer" part of your speculation? > In this same vein, let's deprecate and remove things like telnet and ftp. How does the saying go, "if you think that encryption is the solution to your problem then you don't understand neither encryption nor your problem"? I would hazard a guess that over 95% of encrypted traffic needn't be encrypted at all, but no commercial interest developed "integrity over http" so we all have to suffer "encryption under http" instead. -- Igor M.
