Please bear in mind that I am one of those members and have been implementing prototypes for some while. This has informed my comments greatly however the current spec is highly confusing and a mash of many of the user requirements which have been raised up to this point. I would therefore highly recommend that a community meeting between as many available members is arranged to try and sort through the various use cases and issues face to face before the spec becomes final. In it's current state I can't see many clients, or servers being able to implement this within their current limitations. There are many issues which I feel cannot be expressed fully and completely in an email and what chances I have had to get together with Richard have been fleeting and usually focussed on other issues. For this reason and many others, my experiences have not been fed back properly. I hope that this can be resolved in the near future as I feel this a hugely important step in actually producing a usable and interoperable specification. I started revising the specification today to make it simpler and reflect my own work. Perhaps this can be diff'd against the published specification and discussed at such a meeting. I hope that time limitations are not forcing the project to complete quickly at this point as this is a vital stage to try and get right. I am willing to travel somewhere soon if such a meeting can be arranged to discuss this specification and work through the sticking points.
