Considering that we're dickering over whether the pronunciation of GIF more
resembles peanut butter or a camelopard, I feel compelled to point out that
Mike's approach is not RTFM, but STFW.

(My peeps know what I mean when I use a hard G; it's unambiguous, it's
understood, and that's what matters to me.  YMMV.)

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose
from.
