They are heavily patent laden, although untested last time I looked. This has been discouraging to implementers. (note, a well-informed and smart person (read 'author of similar protocol') tells me the patent(s) may well be unsupportable, but no-one has thus far been willing to test the water.) salaam-shalom 2005-03-07 @ 12:13 -0800 - -- G.
