I just don't know that they see that as their goal. That, and it would need some kind of acceptance from the vendors - not just a SIGAda "blessing" The vendors *might* be very interested in it. They might be avoiding jumping into the fray until they see which way the wind is blowing and/or formulating ideas on how to go about it. I wouldn't take the relative silence from the vendors or the ARG to mean they are not in favor of it. They have to exercise some caution in what to back and how to go about it. Unless a few of the vendors would care to respond and declare "Yeah" or "Nay" on the whole concept? Anybody care to go on record? :-) MDC Stephen Leake wrote: > > > The APIWG would be a good "official" source of blessing.
