	Don't forget to look outside of the digital hub products...


	How about the fact that until Jaguar, every version of Mac OS 
X's built-in PDF support would COMPLETELY IGNORE the DRM options in 
PDF files!   (See 
<http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1976>)

	How about that fact that you can generate PDF files from 
EVERY application under Mac OS X, but no provisions are provided in 
the OS to give your newly created files any sort of DRM options?
