RE: First Draft Spec - Dead Reckoning Interface

I agree with you both.

But could we discuss this over email vs in the monthly conf call next Tuesday?  I say this because as history has shown no one really speaks up nor is it really a place to make any decisions.  Its more for a status update and to sync up with everyone.  I think having this discussed over email is a much better mechanism to bottom out on a decision.

Anyone disagree?  And certainly we can talk more if need be about this at the F2F in 2 weeks time.

Sincerely,
Adam

I agree with Aldric.  The changes makes sense.
