RE: standards and compatibility discussion

This week's publications is exactly what I meant by sharing. Now that we had a chance to explain our plans, I'll be glad to continue this discussion.

Note that whatever solution we have today is not necessarily final. We've explained (I hope) why we need a solution. We can debate if a solution is in fact needed (I am convinced it is) and what the best solution might be...

We've now seen your announcement and the debates it has caused [1].
However, I didn't see any pointers to the research you mentioned.
Would you be able to share your research with us now?
