Well, yes and no, eh.

I'm grateful to "Neil Hodgson" <nhodgson at bigpond.net.au> for telling me 
about the following page.

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q161/8/73.ASP

It's title is "HOWTO: Mark MFC Controls Safe for Scripting/Initialization" 
and it contains the following advisory, "Please keep in mind that a control 
should only be marked as safe if it is, in fact, safe."

I could hardly believe my eyes when first I read that. Duh, sound advice 
from the world's biggest.
