I am as unclear about the problems of autodecoding as I am about the 
necessity to remove curl. Whenever I ask I hear some arguments that work 
well emotionally but are scant on reason and engineering. Maybe it's 
time to rehash them? I just did so about curl, no solid argument seemed 
to come together. I'd be curious of a crisp list of grievances about 
autodecoding. -- Andrei
