Is that an issue with desktop systems ? I don't think so, the cheapest current desktop goes around for $ 150,- in thailand being subsidised by their government, all be it kind a light, it still has minimum of 10 GB harddisks with a celeron processor high above 500MHz, so i don't think that that will pose a problem, who uses a 386 desktop these days ? Are they going to run the bleeding edge desktops using the freedesktops specs ? I don't think so...

We're not talking about the format itself, but where the standard place has to be so that all MUA's can get to it by default and use it by default.
