Exactly, it is a complex and large protocol.  That is why producing a
really good implementation has eluded all comers to date.  Not that
Rit is ripping people off by not doing what they promised.

Yes, it is that way because the specifications say it should be.  I
think Rit got it right by ignoring the specification on this one.  Let
them continue to be guided by what real people using their program
might want.
