> I just talked with Paul about the requirement for a separate data channel.
Given the size, presence and impact Microsoft has in and on the
marketplace, I know I'm not alone in requesting (demanding? begging?)
that Microsoft speak for themselves on this DL regarding requirements
concerns, etc. It's not right that others submit Microsoft's
comments on key requirements...let Microsoft speak for themselves.
Comments from others on this position? Agree? Disagree? Don't care??

I read your "a)" item several times, but still come away confused.
That is, I don't see the value or implication of the statement.
Am I missing something here?
Some of us still want to see the use of a separate data
channel for clean, low-overhead transmission of large
amounts of relatively opaque data (ie, job data). This
lesson was learned by the FTP folks many years ago, and
we should learn from that experience.
