I am on the move and can't read/comment on everything now. BUT: I think any modern protocol needs to care a little bit of security. That is, you should try to architecture it that way that there are no inherent security risks, if you can avoid them. Of course, a protocol specifically *designed* to secure things must hold to even higher standards. But I am not ready to accept being lax with all others. I think there are enough codes out there who don't care... Rainer
