Hi Patrick, thank you for sharing your ideas. It seems to me that your proposal is not a subset, but rather an alternative protocol that uses design elements from FAST. For example, the wire protocol as well as basic design elements (like the pmap) are different in your proposal. Would you care to summarize the what you aim to subset in terms of features in FAST that would be absent in a lite version. Then we can discuss how a subset FAST could look like. There has been discussion previously about subsetting and I believe the sentiment at the time was that subsets would create a potential problem with product compatibility in real life. For the time being, we try to keep the existing protocol as simple as possible. Hence the current discussion about the 1.2 proposal.
