This is what every other guide on the internet already does. We'll _never_ get to improve the current state if we keep supporting fubared stuff. If we want the broadest compatibility let's switch back to plaintext. Works fine with my NCSA Mosaic. :-)

In my opinion Sweet A is where we should be. Yes, this is a forward-looking setting. It sill shall point the direction everyone should be headed for. Bravo B is still considered secure as to our best of knowledge today™ which still supports a wide array of deployed software without unsafe compromises on the security aspect.

I oppose the introduction of a Crazy C cipher that supports every client as this scenario would contradict the goal of the project as I see it. bettercompatibility.org is still available. :-)

Best regards
Pepi
