For what it's worth, I agree with all of Ken's points. I'm not certain what Usefor is attempting to accomplish. If the goal is IETF standardization of a message format which is incompatible with the message format of other protocols, then Usefor has set itself an impossible goal.
Kohn's draft has a chance, as would any other proposal which modifies message formats in a backwards compatible means for all other protocols. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
