No,

Stylus studios is decreasing the value of Google to me and to lots of
others that search for information on XML issues because Stylus Studio
is getting too high a search ranking dependent on their value. They
have essentially gamed the engine, they are not producing the content
and they are not adding value to the content with their added in
hyperlinks that lead to stylus studio products that I am not
interested in in the context of what I am reading. For these reasons
Google has an interest in lowering their standing in the index or
removing them altogether. If Google is obligated to maintain Stylus in
the index and their current level in the index then the argument is
that Google is obligated to worsen their product for the benefit of
Stylus. That certainly can't be right.

Cheers,
