[edit] Tale of design mistake lock in?
My fuzzy recollection is Feldman wrote something describing how he quickly (weeks?) concluded that using significant tabs had been a mistake. But how at that point, he had too many users, order 10?, to change it. Now, order 10_000+ users later... It's a cautionary tale for any protocol designer. And I'd really love to find a reference. 66.30.119.55 19:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
