Have you implemented it and you found it complex, or have you tried to model it in some formal model and was impossible? Renegotiation, is one of the most simple parts of the protocol (Martin Rex argued for that in a previous e-mail and I concur). Your proposal to solve this "complexity" is more complex than the current solution. > I think that either might be sufficient justification for removing the feature. Not to me. I believe that unless hard evidence of the problems are presented, this call for action here is unwarranted. regards, Nikos
