Subject: Apparently the practice was prevalent

According to this story, some programmers have been up late "fixing" the
inability to use @ in their urls. :-)  Once company is even proposing
reversing the change (by sending their users a registry update) so they can
continue to use the feature.  Makes you wonder how long it will be before a
virus or worm reverses the registry key so it can use that "feature".
