The bigger issue isn't the cluttering of/. , but the cluttering of higher education. What skill is this teaching? How will it help prepare students for the work place? I do not see these answers; I hope they have been thought about.

"While it exposes an interesting deficiency in the general knowledge of educators about browser technology,"
Not only browser technology, but all computer technology. My wife is a teacher and in College (at a well respected University) she took "Technology for Teachers," the only computer class required for education majors, this class consisted of learning how to open MS office products.
