I thought I had mailed this link to the list a while back, but here it is 
again.

This whole episode with inserting metadata into data blocks should have never
happened.  I tried to get the following changes to the SplitFile spec made two
weeks ago.
http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/pipermail/devl/2003-January/003373.html

0) Change -- Checksum was added to the InfoPart not the SplitFile.  This is 
implemented.  I think we have agreement that this can be added to the spec.
1) THIS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SPEC. 
2) THIS DESPERATLY NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE SPEC.  But there are still 
unresolved objections.
3) THIS DESPERATLY NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE SPEC.  But there are still some 
unresolved objections.
4) I added this in an attempt to make life easier for client authors who for 
whatever reason are not using FCP FEC commands.  There are unresolved 
objections but it is not worth my time to fight over it.

I move that 0, (as modified) 1, 2, 3 be added to the spec immediately at 
least for the case of redundant SplitFiles.

If you have objections, please present a counter proposal that fully 
addresses healing reinsertion.
