Semantics can be pushed from above or below. If you want semantics,
any place to start is better than no place to start. And no one can just
keep your own personal information from you when you save it locally.

True. And it kept on silently infuriating me as well. But filing bugs
helps. And with 4.4, we got to a point where one does not have to be
