Re: ;binary Concensus?
Kurt
I think this is a very good way forward. In particular it is very
important that use of ;binary is clarified in the protocol document. In
a previous message (4 April to Mark) I mentioned 8 cases that need to
clearly covered in the protocol document.
I would like to volunteer to work in either or both of the teams and
leave it up to you to decide in which team or teams I should contribute.
