Keith et. al.

    Pardon the public reply but I had a question I thought others
might find of interest.

    Were the changes being considered inconsistent with having libraries
that implemented the socket and/or XTI interfaces on top of them?  I.e.
could a vendor implement a socket library that called the P1003.12 
primitives?
