There are a number of criteria by which we can categorize architectural approaches. Many are not binary yes|no but rather dimensions -- lines between two extreme cases, with a particular approach lying somewhere along that line. If you're going to categorize different approaches you have to start somewhere, and CES/CEE is as good a criterion as any as long as you don't treat it as alpha and omega. It's just one criterion, you have to consider others as well, and it's not perfectly binary. _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
