Re: OCP questions

I think I agree with most of this and accept most of the pending points.

I only feel that simplicity/complexity will depend on the modelization defining where OPES boarders are. If you include all the possible plugs it may have to use in the design of a device, you will get a more complex device. And you will not be sure it can be used worldwide. If you get it a transformer and make it frequency indepedant you have probably more chances. But you need to get local converters.

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.

Would you be so kind to give us a brief on your finding/feeling when
you are finished. I think it might help (me/us?) a lot. Thank you.
