Reading this thread, I'm not sure if both of you agreed. Parts of Alan's
previous message hinted toward at least adding the text about making
RFC2865 home server compatibility part of the things to be evaluated in
this experiment.

So, to clarify: are you happy with the text as-is in rev -04, or are
there pending text changes? If the latter, could either of you suggest
updated text for a new rev?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
