Re: FW: Number of connections

I hope we don't end up in a situation where a great, powerful, 
wonderful solution that never happens prevents a simple, 
not-so-powerful one from being quickly adopted. (If anything, I fear 
mine is already a tad complicated... and am hoping for some ideas from 
the list on how to simplify...)

But, I await your writeup.  If it's lots better and not much more 
complicated, I will drop mine. It would be nice if it subsumed 
"chunked", too -- then we'll only have to implement SCP.

Hopefully, an alternative proposal will prod you into finishing writing 
sooner rather than later.
