Are you saying we will not support those parts of 0-9 which are also in 0-8

As far as I understand it, those are still in the spec although marked as
likely to be replaced. If we are claiming spec compliance should we not
still support these classes for the moment?
That would have been my understanding as well.
If spec compliance is not our
goal (i.e. we are really anticipating a later version of the spec where
these elements have been removed) we should be clear about that.
I agree.
On other
threads we have been quite reluctant to get "ahead of the spec".
Thats really just been me, and I accept I am being rather pedantic! To
again repeat what I tried previously to say, I am not at all against
adding to the protocol. I would however (where feasible) much prefer
that we didn't actually break it for simple scenarios. My view should be
taken purely as the opinion of one person though!
