That's great to hear. I have been following this work closely (having
also reviewed Klaas' recent draft) and I'm pleased that we have two
plausible strategies on the table for addressing this problem space. I
think our use-cases are a bit different (our respective strategies
certainly are!) but we are clearly in the same ball-park and so I hope
you will also bring your ideas to the proposed Bar BoF.
