My impression of the conversation in London was that the working group 
was leaning towards keeping both of the proof of transit algorithms.
One because it is very efficient and confirms that each SF has been visited,
and the other because although it is more complex, it verifies order of 
visiting, which is important in a significant subset of cases.

Do folks on the list agree with that direction?

Yours,
Joel
