I'm all for it.  The xtnpd source looks as if it were already prepared
for this case.

However, i assume we should at least co-ordinate this effort with
other BSDs (and maybe Linux, too, but since this is outside the
kernel, you'll probably have a hard time finding the most competent
person to convince there...).  Facilities are forwarded across the
network, after all.

Seems the range 12 through 15 is still available for future
assignments.  Anybody know of other systems that have already
precedent cases in this region?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
