Perhaps we should also start a wiki page (it's nice to have a stable url that one can refer to, which still is editable; that give me at least a feeling of progress), about statements that we reached consensus over. Being an abstract thinker and analyst, I believe we can tackle many of the current discussions at a much higer abstraction level first, making it easier, or even possible, to deal with the more detailed points of discussion. I'd like to start with one such statement and ask for consensus on it (and if not, give your rationale why not). * Whenever a change X in the protocol is proposed (which might be an addition, a change of existing protocol or even deletion: any change, making the protocol (VWRAP) go from A --> B), then that change is accepted as part of VWRAP provided that: 1) Protocol B can do everything that A could do. 2) No substantial extra demands are being made on an implementation that only implements the functionality of A. In other words: we choose for flexibility. Under no circumstances we want the *protocol* itself to be a limitation in what is possible, when that extra flexibility/possibility doesn't cost much for those not needing or using it. Companies be warned: that DOES mean that you lose control: sometimes it is "nice" if it's impossible to do with a protocol what your company doesn't want. However, if that is what you want-- I'd like to hear good reasons for that at THIS abstraction level, and not while discussion details, because then it's too easy to go against some proposal for "different" reasons (not really saying that what you really want is that something is just not possible with the protocol, in order to garantee that things will deviate from YOUR goals and ideas). I sincerely hope we can reach consensus on this and ask everyone to give their 'yes' or 'reasons for their no'. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>
