] DCE RPC has several other problems, the most important of which ] is that it isn't available universally, and very difficult to make it so ] quickly... What's the problem here? I thought the source code base was easily available. I understand that not all platforms already have it, but if it were part of the reference implementation of the browser that incorporated the next generation HTTP, I presume that that would quickly be a non-problem. (This is really an innocent question -- I have not followed the actual status of the "freely available" DCE RPC source code, and it would be entirely possible that I've been taken in by OSF hype...) This should apply to any protocol/implementation we might choose, not just DCE. I wouldn't rule out any existing protocol or implementaiton just because it weren't widely deployed, if it otherwise met the requirements. Paul
