The patent appears to predate PLTaEURXs work.

"The patent appears to predate PLTaEURXs work." Boy, that extra character support sure would've come in handy. :P

It was an apostrophe, but since Arc doesnaEURXt support Unicode, fuck it.

What kind of keyboard do you use that has an actual apostrophe on it? Or do you go out of your way to use Markdown (or something) to clean your input before submitting? Just curious...

Claims 4, 6, 8 and 9 are pretty specific and from a cursory examination of the current challenge solutions none of them work that way.

Could it be that at the moment the only system to worry about a lawsuit is Arc? Yahoo (not pg) is the patent holder.
