We all (I believe) agree that we need a low-level API, mostly, as you said, for debugging / monitoring / teaching purposes and for some optimizations in very specific applications. But this is not the point to discuss since we *already* have this API, the sockets API, and it works. What we discuss is a *new* API, a high-level one, not meant to replace the low-level one for *everything* but for most applications. > Fourth, for a variety of reasons, DNS names are not and have never > been adequate as general purpose endpoint identifiers, This is a sensible explanation but, if we agree with it, it only means that we rule out DNS for the identification of the new high-level "connection objects". This does not mean that the whole idea of a high-level API is wrong. > I guess you wouldn't use Skype then, Right. > preferring to spend lots of money on international phone calls. I use email. I may switch to SIP or Jabber. I did not find a RFC describing Skype.
