Actually I rather suspect it would solve more problems than it causes. If
I copy your text then we have problems, if I client-side inline it then
it's no different than someone reading it directly from you. Xanadu was
headed in that direction at least partially for that reason -- opyright
becomes much clearer if you don't have to copy.

I don't buy "break the browser" reasoning. That's a way to limit the future
of HTML. Tables break old browsers too. If it's a serious problem, there
are already accepted ways of dealing it (the Accept fields, for instance,
or server-side smarts that only dish out what the browser can read).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
