I hear you, but when I read http://www.clipcode.com/peer/beep_technical_whitepaper.htm I feel guilty for not using BEEP and inventing yet another *TRANP. I have not finished reading or digesting the paper though. If by "not a branch point" you mean "we would still need to decide on BEEP transport (BEEP over what)", then I agree.
