True, but for the purpose of Bill's demo it works fine. For that matter, 
a 16-bit iv won't get you very far either. I'd be inclined to generate a 
large random iv and post it to the server with the encrypted data. But 
I'd also worry about putting a database out in the open like this 
without good security constraints. Of course, I have no idea what Bill 
has in mind here, so ymmv.
