Excuse me? Which part of my comment is "rougly" what you're suggesting now?
Especially in the paragraph 5 you refer to, I made clear there are fundamental
problems for Mozilla to "silently" handle BitTorrent downloads.

So, for the protocol, I am absolutely *against* your suggestion of Mozilla
handling the BitTorrent protocol internally. Actually I cannot even believe
anybody would come to any different conclusion after reading my said comment.
