As long as they use the same division into chunks (e.g. required by the
Merkle hash tree for content integrity protection) there should not
be a problem translating bins to ranges and vice versa. Note there are 
two possible types of ranges: ranges of chunk IDs, and
byte ranges.

I'm currently updating the -01 draft following the issues raised since
January, which includes freedom to have different addressing schemes and 
the two proposals.

> 2. Peer Protocol - Security Section

Part of the update the security section is extending the
security analyses and solutions discussed since January.

The update will give us a draft that addresses all major topics,
with some strategic decisions to be made on default transport,
and extra features to add or reject.

We hope to have a new version next week.

CU,
