I don't know. I use Merriam-Webster's Online, which has slowly degraded
over time in terms of good results since they want you to pay for better

They clearly
mark it as a replica on the accompanying plaque (and give me
credit to boot :) I would agree here that it was "better" than the real
thing since the users could actually see it working in a reasonable
facsimilation (I made up that word).
When? Google's already got 563 hits for it, there's a webmag there (split
between Florida and BC, Canada)... Or are you just looking to patent it, a la M$
patenting using a tab key in
a browser, or somesuch? :-P
Well, if there's money to be made then sure :)
