As long as this group adopts ports and protocols that do not preclude OGP,
HyperGrid, MXP or other, I see no reason why LESS could not become viable.

As we know, it will be the users of our virtual worlds technologies that
will ultimately determine the viability (or lack thereof) of
interoperability.

It seems to me that concentrating on a flexible enough protocol to allow all
the ideas described (and more) to bloom is a reasonable solution.

At the very least, there need to be two competing protocols, should this
group feel bound for more definition to allow the users and the market to
decide what is good or not.

But, my feeling is flexibility to allow all the ideas and more presented
makes a compelling argument.
