Please stop mixing fact and opinion.

There are those -- some very very really terribly smart -- people who 
feel that it is a design feature.  Thus indicating that one camp is 
either incorrect or, more likely, there is a huge wash of nearly 
religious grey areas in between.

This is not the forum to argue the philosophy of design of something 
that will not change.

(If anyone is keeping score, I have tried to be careful to *not* 
express an opinion on this one.  I have one and it has changed 
radically over the years.  Twice, no less.  But that is OT for cocoa-
dev.)
