Microsoft's group vice president for Windows and Internet Explorer in 2001, who publicly explained — via the Wall Street Journal, quoted secondhand in a contemporaneous eWeek article — why Microsoft pulled the browser-based Smart Tags feature from Internet Explorer 6 after publisher objections.
Matters to this vault as the named source of the earlier, better-documented, and easily-confused other Smart Tags controversy: the one Jeff Reynar's own essay explicitly distinguishes from the Office Smart Tags SDK schema-design failure his three-sub-problems argument actually rests on. Allchin's account corroborates that a real "Smart Tags" pull happened in 2001 — just not the one the vault's load-bearing claim needs.
