[WEB4LIB] Vendors Who Borrow from One Another

[Eric Hellman]

SFXit uses Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif in a style.
Endeavor uses Arial in a font tag.

What, exactly is your beef? That both lists are in *alphabetical* 
order? That Endeavor doesn't have ExLibris in its list?

There's no mystery why the lists are similar- the intent of making 
OpenURL a NISO standard is that it works  with all vendors supporting 
the standard. Endeavor, ExLibris, Fretwell-Downing, Openly 
Informatics, all the others on the way, all of these OUGHT to have 
the same list.
