Post Crashing and Burning

Re SQ 006 at TPE, another long-haul T/O crash - another catastrophic fire.

Is it not time for the industry to revisit the wire-mesh fuel tank 'stuffing' that has been proven to inhibit (I believe 'prevent' is not too strong a word) the propogation of a fuel fire in the event of the tank(s) being structurally breached?

I believe the material used is fine enough that tank capacity is not greatly reduced.

Anyone heard more of this?
