actually, it's not just a matter of not getting 'past this dark age of

pulling apart the payload and analysing it before letting it get through 
to the far side.

There are too many idiots out there building "security software" and 
running IT departments, that's really the bottom line.

By the way, I want to say *thank you* to Shawn for tackling this 
project: this has been a major issue for kernel.org, and getting 
something like this deployed would be incredibly helpful.
