These dwrites were probably never run through any kind of QA
process or spec'd into the release.  Therefore they would not
have been documented.  Most users enjoy finding out about
"features" in the release.  It seems that you do not and therefor
should not use the feature.

Presenting your point of view in this manner does nothing
to help get things changed.  Future flames should be sent
to comp.sys.advocacy.
