Really appreciate that this site has been set up in response. Hopefully continued research and improvement on the files can continued unfettered.

Just because we can demonstrate that something can be done, doesn't allow us to ignore the burden of explaining why we should. At least some people have taken that to heart: http://bit.ly/15hQ0HY / http://exm.nr/12RDXfL / http://bit.ly/15osFE8
