The backout is probably wise for now, but I'd certainly like to see a way
to get your good work activated in some environment or other (progress and
stability can co-habit, I'm sure).  I've suggested elsewhere a path
based mechanism for choosing BSD vs. POSIX behaviour (hardly a novel idea).

Thanks again for your work in the standards arena.  I think the old school
will be your most fervent supporters _and_ detractors!

		Cheers,

		Mark.
