I was under the impression that one of the advantages of our adoption of SDP to date was that we could extensively re-use existing code
and that this would give us a high degree of interoperability with a much shorter development time than not using SDP.
Do you still feel that this will be the case ?

I think the chrome guys intent is to implement SDP that is widely compatible once we get around to figuring out what that is.
