I don't agree with that

  1. My belief is that it is not sufficient to conform to RFC 1276
  because there are some more problems not related to the
  replication but really dealing with non conformance
  of QUIPU referals
  the statement then should be:
Non-leaf DSAs should follow RFC 1276 and not make use of referals!!!

  2. It is not realistic to expect any implementation not
  conforming to RFC1276 to go that way, as all this will be
  changed soon
  You are thus more or less banning most other implementations
    out of the current service/pilot!!
