Hi Stuart,

I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to be insulting...

We don't typically include statements about how we compete or don't 
compete with any non-IETF protocols, including de-facto standards 
and/or standards from other standards groups, as that is more of a 
marketing discussion than a technical discussion.

If there is a technical concern regarding interoperability or 
compatibility with an existing de-facto/industry standard, that might 
be included.  But I don't think that is what you are asking for, is 
it?  If it is, could you let us know what the technical issues are 
that should be documented?

Margaret
