Whether EWG centralized RDS will go live is a discussion for a different forum, 
but the fact that such a proposal got consensus show that assuming RDDS and SRS 
will always be closely tied is false. It's how it is today, it might keep being 
that way after the current RDS WG ends its work, but the chance (or risk) of 
decoupling is there.

Not as an organization to organization protocol, just to support old code that 
is out there, like order systems that do WHOIS lookup to determine 
availability. What I'm saying is that we can make RDDS not workable as an 
availability checking mechanism without breaking those applications by 
providing workarounds.
