True... but I would guess that of the fraction of people who are
actually filling out the creator code, even a fraction of that actually
register their signatures.

I guess it's all academic short of the developer actually going the
whole 9 yards, but why would this be _better_ than a code generated to
be unique to the developer? Sure it wouldn't be registered with Apple,
but it would avoid conflicting with every other RunRev-made application
out there...

Yah- awareness of the issue would probably trump a half solution for
those that are affected!
