Actually, maybe not! I think on the server side we won't care about collisions, but on the client side I think we care very much. I think the key is this: the client MUST NOT cache any objects from failed handshakes. Anyways, I've not done a careful analysis because I'm lazy and I'd rather see what the authors have to say first :) Nico --
