My only comment here is that I would prefer to see OIDs instead of vendor names. Products change hands, some flags are designed to be used by multiple products from the start, etc., and OIDs provide a natural way of virtualizing identifiers while still preserving clear lines of authority. The use of a special character makes sense to me. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
