In the draft at <http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/webapi/ network-api/network-api.html?rev=1.2&content-type=text/html;% 20charset=iso-8859-1>, there's a prominent statement; > This interface does not allow for raw access to the underlying > network.

Are you quietly defining a new application-layer protocol here, or a profile of TCP? Also, "raw sockets" generally means a socket API that allows access to packet headers. Is that the meaning you intend here? Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham mnot@yahoo-inc.com
