This makes no sense: "... It also seems that it is
illegal for Hosting providers to supply the FrontPage extensions."
I may be illegal for them to give out the extensions to others, but they can
continue to use what they have.
And, you don't necessarily need the extensions on your machine, to the above
statement is kinda stupid if you ask me.
