Well, I agree with you, but for all intent and purpose, the protocol is currently frozen. The authors rejected all suggestions of modifications that change the wire protocol for the last year or so. They seems to not realize that the longer they wait to publish it, the more likely it will be that people will find things to fix in it and so will delay the publication even further. The last WG meeting in Taipei was very disappointing - to say the least - with very little progress made and I expect that it will be the same in Paris. - -- Marc Petit-Huguenin Personal email: [email protected] Professional email: [email protected] Blog: http://blog.marc.petit-huguenin.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJO8lNtAAoJECnERZXWan7E5KQP/iOAjTGpH82Zee6zkIzvvBMc 8UfBOlre3ELVnCZwdXxMO10FYIugZa7wDCwQERiRtKoYzc79dmC6/J6ivnmX9M7U C9fkjSpTJAZnBMWL4vGgXnnklF2FWScXQRzl09rHx6OnljSkuhybmMbU/OjkaIdG MBJ8F1kd7hBTfVffG0dMAsJC+nkVeTG3QVcYypiVMzSlHXi+oPu1xz3MLdZG+9Ur bGcfgZjVzP54VvPtMibFk9/VyuY9XiibSqJvwwl59SJN7sl03cCkWUL5yneH22rI DgQgI6qsbQEwwXUUxJcey1DHsEVlKLxcTlj85uEt5LQBBOOadIDLVye8T4F400DZ 8Y79AvpRowQpUPcT1LYTXs5hXN+XsiY0kKzJk6m8scSovE+ZB3C+0ZO+pok7M8yQ bMag+2Pyb3ksXbMU7ePkYpZO8iTvILQgWYlJ9ScMV9r3FW1rmi3HoW5jFkYINAVv Ud50eu1izUt7H4O11oboU/8E20mqet+Zjj78LD/3abCz6TTFM9XQrKxU8rSpwbSg +SYOoP+meFyQdyDxAY9q47qztUsfI0O/FJB/hy+BsEp7UYixwhTgmYx0aVLtSOP4 8ejXmriWaETDjxjY2f49bpONwDg93BhKIFwd9c3hRynmKSbqXfv6Q0jBWbD5kPfR HrfvCPlXNyDlljX0U5If =WtNI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
