The filter seems to be reading the HTML pages for their content and then deciding whether I can see them on that basis. It doesn't seem to be working for XHTML content (any pages I've visited that are delivering back properly MIME-typed XHTML are working fine) - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jyte.com&quot;&gt;Jyte&lt;/a&gt; (XHTML 1.1), my blog and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adactio.com&quot;&gt;Adactio&lt;/a&gt; are working fine. I'm sure someone could do MIME type spoofing in order to get around this filtering system. Except that when I went to make a Jyte claim &quot;Attempts to filter or block Internet resources are doomed to failure&quot;, it conked out (probably the word 'filter' or 'block' in the URI being caught by a URI-based filter)." created="Mon, 14 May 2007 12:01:47 GMT"/>			<outline text="Just remember, British public, the University of London &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a public body.
