>>The people who are complaining are complaining because OpenSRS doesn't
do "x" where "x" is their favorite thing.

I'm advocating for XML WEB Services because the OPENSRS system does not
use ANY standards - it connects to a non standard port, communicates
using a homegrown protocol that has encryption embedded into it. I think
all developers on all platforms would benefit from the utilization of
W3C protocols - HTTP, XML, SOAP, SSL, etc. This makes it easier for
everybody to build clients that integrate into their environments and
business practices. If you have to become a Crypto and TCPIP sockets
guru to develop a non-Perl/PHP client, not many clients are going to be
developed.

>>>>because frankly, it doesn't matter.
This matters to everyone who is integrating a domain business into their
operations. It should matter most to Tucows, as they want their service
to be available to the widest possible client base. 

>>The important point is this one: "The nice thing about standards is
that there are so many to choose from."

We agree completely - which one(s) are you advocating?
