Well my questions are very much exploratory at the moment with respect to
DFB in general.
ie. an assesment of risk, complexity, pitfalls we might hit with the design
I have in mind.
So, there is no *definitive* requirement quite yet. But certainly I will
keep you informed offline if or when these plans develop.

In the meantime, thank you for your assistance.

I just stated it one or two times on the list. No more details than
what I wrote today.

Yes, these would be implicitly supported.

I think you could provide some more requirements and work on the design
with me. I can put my work I've done so far into a CVS branch. There's
no design document, yet. But I started with the obvious parts of the
implementation.

Due to other tasks I don't think it will be ready before September,
but with your help and a bit more pressure on my side, we might have
a release in August or July.
