ACK. I should point out -- just as a process point -- that moving from PS to DS is not a statement that we have a great deal of operational experience and that this is a solid, mature protocol. That happens when we go from DS to full Standard. The move to DS says that the protocol is stable and has been shown to interoperate. It's possible to move what we have to DS, then decide it needs updating -- in which case the update goes back to PS again. That's not to express an opinion on Scott's point at all... just to make the process issues clear.
