I am drawing the conclusion that Veri$ign's claim that
they have [x] support is irrelevant, regardless of [x].
If they had brought forward the WLS prior to their having
any competition, they could have argued that they had
100% support, which would have been accurate, and equally
meaningless. I don't why you seem to be even considering,
let alone accepting, the market share argument. -g
