Hi all, > Not sure if you aware but there is an IETF Internet Draft winging its way > through the system on this topic, namely > > http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representation-05. > txt The -05 version is a major rewrite w.r.t. the -01 version discussed about a year ago. > It did get discussed on the IETF idr list in October 2006, and met significant > resistance.

I haven't seen any discussion since. > > Current status is Application Director Watching That is about right: the AD is watching developments but there aren't any. This is one of those cases where there are 3 solutions which all have their pro's and con's, and where neither one is better than any of the others. The only way out is that somebody makes a decision to pick one and accept that people in favor of the other solutions will be unhappy for a while, before they realize that they'll have to live with it. Right now, the time doesn't seem right yet to make this decision, so I guess that we'll have to live with this situation for a while.
