No, actually, the internal documents I would develop using FOs I will not
put on the Web, but will make them accessible to clients via an extranet. I
wouldn't want to make them available publicly.

No, actually, I do know who the readers are, and even which browser they
will use. Again, I agree that accessibility can be a problem for public
