Care to explain? sure. i'll even do it for free! :-) we don't make ethernet standards, ieee does. we don't make sdh standards, itu does. etc. etc. in this case, i would be careful not to encroach on w3's toes. i have no idea if we would be or not. as to why we are careful not to step on other sdos' toes, well we do not want them to step on ours. there have been incidents of this kind of issue with other sdos, and we try to be careful. make sense? randy
