    Now, (I hope), Noel won't say anymore "Pip is
    a protocol without an architecture....."  :-)

What Noel said (to be precise) is that X,Y,Z and PIP didn't have *routing
architectures*. (For my definition of this term, please refer to the Big-I
archives.) There's a big difference.

PS: As near as I can tell from a quick scan of sections 4 and 10, PIP now
has rudiments of an RA, but not one I am enthused about.
