Actually, my current belief is that rather than trying to improve the
TCP/IP suite with new services, effort should be put into increasing the
range of ISO/OSI functions.  This may, of course mean moving OSI/ISO (I never
am sure which order of the letters I should use at which time :-)
functions into an Internet currently based on TCP/IP services, in the
long run, as the Internet migrates in the OSI direction.

Besides, everyone knows that the *true* international language will
be Esperanto.  :-)
