RE: Why I think we should tolerate compatibility with PRA.

Meng,

A quick follow up comment to my earlier post. 

Immediately preceding the paragraph speaking of
appeasement, you write:

|So, even if nobody here likes Microsoft and nobody here
|likes PRA, those are the reasons I think we should specify
|spf1 to include PRA, ... 

The group consensus is to put forward SPF Classic meaning
spf1 supporting only HELO and MAIL FROM scopes.

This decision is clear. 

|and we should specify spf2.0 to allow explicit PRA scoping.

There seems to be little stomach even for this choice. 

Therefore the best I can say is that if you want to proceed
in this direction, each individual is free to do as he
pleases. 

However, should you desire to write such a specification, I
strongly urge you to first send the letter I drafted (and
included in my proceeding post on this topic) over to
Speizle, (cc ed as suggested), and await his clear
confirmation as to the MS patent position before proceeding
to do any work.

Otherwise, I fear you run the serious risk of being
"painted" as totally craven towards MS and this will likely
cast a shadow over the SPF effort.
