You know, the people on this list make great computer scientists, network

of us actually do. So, given this, why don't we ask some people who really
DO understand this problem to come up with a decent recommendation, rather
than perennially flaming about it? Then we can ask them to help us with
NATs ;-)
But CHI is only a secondary issue. The primary issue is the best format
for archives. We want something which is not likely to be superceded by
something better in a few years. So far there's only one alternative.
Others, like XML DTDs, are promising but still have too much
vulnerability.
