It is of dubious value regardless. It just adds complexity for no gain. Moreover, these things are in fact not mutually independent. I've had a lot of headaches trying to work around that when I was working on PME support and later on _OSC for root bridges. Let's just take that stuff away once and for good. :-) Thanks, Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.
