  I've worked up a revised proposal with SUN, mostly changing the factory interface to be more like the URL one. It looks like I'll have to be at the IETF meeting at least on Wednesday (March 17), the LDAP day. Will you guys be around then? Or maybe Thursday? This might be a good opportunity to make some progress on unifying the proposals.

Thanks,
Rob
