The key point is that 'you do not have to', because the current
implementation handles that better than the M$ case.
Better than M$ is not very comforting. ;-)
Let's take an example: when you send me an e-mail, I understand that
it may contain attachments. Why don't we allow the attachments to
unpack themselves to some absolute path on the harddisk, then? Because
I would be very annoyed if it did.
First, unpack does not automatically happen in *my* implementation.
You should shot Richard and Jose about this.
The suggestion I'm making most certainly does not allow anything to
unpack to absolute paths.
Second, my updated
implementation only unpack to the document directory, not any path on
the harddisk.
I thought you wanted to allow things to unbundle to arbitrary locations?
Or are you now just allowing them to update from such locations? I can't
follow everything that's happened.
