Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the connection-specific settings,
so right now we have to make these changes globally.

We've had no followup on this from anyone else and it's not easily
reproducible. Using %COMPAT for everyone could open them to old
vulnerabilities.

I'd rather stay with the current defaults and defer the rest of the work
to when connection-specific settings are available. I'm not sure of the
right place to discuss these settings--maybe a new section will be
needed once connection-specific settings exist.

So that's my vote; please add yours.

Thanks
Ted
