Right, but SDP kernel/user interface is well defined, besides the protocol family. Its basically the regular socket interface + unbind option. So its possible to make the protocol family configurable in userspace sdp library (libsdp) and then include libsdp in Release 1.0 and it will work with whatever SDP code makes it upstream. -- Michael S.
