------- Additional Comments from Dave Hyatt <hyatt at apple.com>
I belive every single browser has Mozilla/ at the start.  That is historical
and is used all over the Web.  I don't think we can dump that.

We also can't dump the (KHTML, like Gecko) portion, since that breaks numerous
DHTML menus and frameworks.

This isn't something we like, but it also isn't optional.  We have to work with
the real world Web.
