Probably not, but it seems pretty clear that deployment of some IETF protocols has suffered from either the lack of a comprehensive API, or crappy API. I'm thinking of IPSec, newer DNS features, etc. I think it's very much in the interest of the IETF to have someone around who can talk to some of the language standards bodies about how to expose protocol features, how to deal with options, etc. Melinda
