Hi,

It got quite around that because we have some RFCs to this where the
functionality seems to be defined as the people thought it should be.
Otherwise they can raise their hands and write a mail that they want to
update the RFC - but as there's no one doing that, I think we're quite
close to what we wanted.

Take a look at it and feel free to add your ideas in this thread.

Bye
Simon
