	This seems like a necessary, obvious and even dead easy improvement  
to me... unless I'm not understanding some sparkle specific  
constraint that makes it harder to implement than just editing a  
string in the appcast file. Any reason why it hasn't been  
implemented, other than lack of time (which I'd easily  
understand ;-)... ?


	Regards,...
