After I went to the trouble of labeling my entire web site (150+ pages) to
the strictest level of ICRA, I was recently informed by a visitor that
Internet Explorer's Content Advisor is NOT reading them correctly and gets
it completely wrong. This was news to the ICRA people when I contacted them,
but they confirmed it much to their dismay. MSIE is not following the rules,
and now the ICRA folks have to scramble to rewrite their code some way
because of this Microsoft defect.

Yeah, the browser makers appear to have lost interest in PICS, e.g. as
supported by ICRA (formerly RSACi). I still ICRA-label my sites, as it
is simple to do, but this will remain somewhat futile unless the browser
makers regain interest in PICS.

ICRA support tech just told me that for Internet Explorer to read my site
I'll either have to make an individualized "gen false" for all 150 pages
including my home page OR label my whole site with a "gen true" for all the
worst features of only a few pages. As you also notice, it is because the
browser maker is NOT following the recommendations for PICS. Why do they
bother putting Content Advisor in then if it doesn't follow the rules?
