Why would it be 'more appropriate' to add an extra piece of (more or less useless) info?

If you have a closer look, you'll see that as mentioned - it doesn't say that it's a list of Netscape favourites. It merely says it's using a doctype which contains the text 'NETSCAPE'

An alternative may well be a reduction in the interoperability of the browsers, for the net gain of ???

Quoting from the MSDN page [^]on the topic, "The Windows Internet Explorer Favorites file format is exactly the same as the Netscape Bookmark file format."

Try looking inside documents created by OpenOffice - I'll bet that .DOCX files produced by it have parts of the header info that are identical to those produced by MS Office. The fact that the header contains more data (than this bookmark format) allows the creator to be differentiated - but key pieces of information are still identical.

Sounds like a case of PICNIC to me!
