Who is "he"? If you mean the poster I replied to with a link to netmeister's,
that one could not have referred to this link without serious time
hackery. ;)

Did you bother reading the article? The points about conserving bandwidth or
client support are probably mostly moot today, but, and here you show that
you obviously neither understood my reply nor the article mentioned "You are
missing an important point, and that is communication efficiency." (quoting
myself here).

Well, if you had taken the time to intersperse your reply with the exact
statements you were referring to, you would have noticed that your reply
doesn't make sense, at least none that I can make out without guessing. Is
that the kind of efficiency you want?

That said, clarity beats any fixed schema. However, one schema makes clarity
almost unavoidable while the other (see this very mail from you) makes it
easy to not make things clear.

Yep, this discussion sounds familiar.
