Look, you really didn't invent anything new (refer fex. to GLEP-29) - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0029.html - http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=109802333600005&r=1&w=2 Unless you have some reference implementation that doesn't suck and does address all the concerns why this has been withdrawn, there's no point in continuing this discussion and flooding the mailing list. If you read on the above, it turned out that instead of simplification things can become a lot more complicated and confusing instead. -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
