The difference in difficulty between filtering FNP and filtering FNP encapsulated in XML is trivial. We're going to need to to much trickier things that using XML when they start filtering for FNP. > (to the extent say that Napster became successful on college campuses, > etc...)

You can block only Freenet SOAP messages. Unless we stego them to look like other SOAP messages in which case that's a different issue and we're not using SOAP as SOAP anymore, but as a stego layer, so we might as well use HTTP, FTP, e-mail, etc.. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
