And that's the problem I have with it. I had never heard of
Palladium until the first posting of this thread. The generally
very knowledgeable readership of comp.unix.bsd didn't know
much about it. Why is anyone considering putting something
none of us knows about into a standard?

I've implemented parts of a Palladium style system on VMS and Ultrix and
argued for it's inclusion in a PC networking system.  It has been a
useful reference for me.

One might ask this question of archie as well... ;-).  Actually, I have
found it difficult to keep on the cutting edge of more that 30 or 40
things at the same time... so I expect others have the same problem. 8^).
