Hmm, does this mean we need a BOF to determine if there is a need
for a ShipsInTheDay protocol or if the ShipsInTheNight protocol would be
adequate for the job (with a few extensions of course)? Are we sure that ATM
would be desirable in this instance? Personally, I think this sounds like a
job for IPv9 Man.....if I'm not mistaken, each semaphore/signal flag will
require it's own IP address so as to have the capability to report usage
stats via SMNPvx, at least.......
But I must state it is so rewarding to see the enthusiasm being
generated by this thread. I will no longer tolerate anyone saying the IETF
is not sensitive or responsive to the needs of the user community......
Are our days sooooo dull......? :-)

Or is this a case of ShipsIntheNight
