["Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxx>]

I had previously based my stable.xml files on Wireshark's, so I was just wondering if Wireshark's had changed, but I now know that it must have because of the HTTPS requirement, which I wasn't aware of.

By the way, I'm not sure what it's for, but http://andymatuschak.org/xml-namespaces/sparkle appears to be a dead link.  The last one I found that worked was https://web.archive.org/web/20110611002603/http://andymatuschak.org/xml-namespaces/sparkle, but since the page merely displays "Sparkle is a software update framework. See http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org for more. ", I wonder if this is even needed at all?
