This almost sounds like an EGP apologist... :)
I know that several folks have identified the problems in these two
protocols and are working on fixes which range from patches to new
protocols.  

Simplifing the mesh is no longer a tenable position, IMHO. Its time
onceee again, to upgrade the in-flight 747, but this time
its not changing the wings, now we rebuild it to a 777  :)
