And apologies to Enrico for picking on him, as he's not the first or worst offender, but it has to stop *now*. > In fact, this is happening exactly when the excellent Jorge Pérez > (from the database community) found a *serious* bug - of which I am > co-responsible - in the entailment semantics of BGPs, which nobody > spotted so far and which invalidates the core of the current > document. Two things: 1. that's what external review is for. So the process is working. 2. there are action items in the group to respond to Perez's comments, which will happen as soon as someone finds the time and energy to do it. All is *not* lost, Enrico. :> > Shall I spend time to fix it? I probably will - since this > is my job as a scientist - but I am not sure that this will happen in > the context of this group.

If you want to discuss this stuff seriously, contact me off-list, please. Cheers, Kendall Clark -- You're one in a million You've got to burn to shine
