hmmph. Many moons ago I used to argue that the IETF should adopt/hijack
the DCE suite, and for the same basic reasons that this guy is arguing for
their thingy. DCE is probably a better idea still, but his payscale and
business card guarantee a wider audience so... Who knows, maybe he'll have
better luck with it. I'll salute if its architected and spec'd right, with
a good distributed directory, platform-neutral APIs, targetted use, etc.
