Great minds think alike!

Actually, I have already set the ball in motion for this. I ran a BOF on this
at the recent WWWF'94 conference, and will be doing the same at the IETF
meeting next month in San Jose, where we will be formally requesting the

has already been set up, although its fairly quiet at the moment.
