NOTE: I use the term "war" in the loosest sense. Obviously the interests of both WTV and those who seek to understand WTV security (or worse, subvert it), are incompatible. I may at time get frustrated with counter-measures WTV introduces... as I did in some of these posts, but I do see it as part of the game. In the end it's wise to know what motivates your "adversary". Only in that way can you better predict his next countermove, and avoid providing inadvertant assistance. We now have a pretty good idea from studying the last few upgrades just how WNI works. Some methods for killing URL access can be accomplished with a server-side modification or upgrade, others require a client upgrade. Knowing this provides some sense of predictibility.
