William,

thank you for your comments. Just so I understand:
- Which "20% of capacity" bit is ignored?
  (for the next round of testing)

- If you would "junk it and start again", what would you do?
  (maybe we can benefit from your ideas)

- Which documents are you referring to?
  (FAST specs, specs for a specific feed, ...)

- Could you be more specific on the imperfections?
  (would be useful for the next round of reviews)

- Which sample application are you referring to?
  (I assume you are referring to a specific feed?)

- Which feed are you implementing for?

Let me know it there is any specific info that we can provide you with.

BTW, what's your company affiliation?

Best,
Rolf
