I haven't reviewed them since the very first batch of drafts, which I hated. Walt Lazear *briefly* looked at the next batch, 9 months later (about a year ago?) and thought they looked reasonable. I just received a draft DSP MIL-STD for RFC 1006. I think it is less mature than the others you are mentioning, and there are yet others in the mill somewhere. Anyway the draft MIL-STD-2045-14503 has a number of editorial glitches and one oddity that I think may be a technical bogon, but I haven't tried hard to figure it out, and it looks like it might be harmless even if wrong. Don't assume that I'm systematically reviewing these things; I'm not. I don't know where, if anywhere, they get in-depth review. If someone would want to be added to distribution for these things they should send an email to Greg Scott, scottg@cc.ims.disa.mil. The only "mainstream vendor" I've spotted on the list is Sun (Geoff Mulligan). There are half a dozen other names that I recognize as people who could provide some constructive review, if in fact they read the mail, which I wouldn't take for granted. There was talk of writing a MIL-STD router profile. That concerns me a lot (DTMP/Logicon writing Router Requirements before the IETF does). I hope this idea died. Someone should be worrying about this. /Bill
