I don't think there's that much overlap in goal between P2P SIP and
EMERG, although they'll touch some of the same territory.  IMHO the
essence of P2P SIP is to free the peer discovery process from the Borg
(plus a couple of other things like support for anonymity and NAT
traversal).  All of the P2PRG work would support it directly.  OTOH it
seems that the implicit issue in EMERG is to *control* the discovery
process, and to make it work well when a lot of control exists,
assuming strong A&A.
