The difficulty of > making any protocol changes at the moment is a big stumbling block. I've been thinking the same thing. Any new protocol should include a way for each side to publish a list of what it can accept from the other during initial handshaking. > (You could probably retrofit that to the current protocol version) Perhaps. It would be great if both sides could recognize the case where the "feature negotiation" was absent and use a default feature list for the protocol available on the other end. -Kevin
