<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> 2.13 Set 2 and Set 3 Operations <BR>> The
group questioned whether or not any vendor would actually implement these
operations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> There was also a general question of
procedure with regard to submitting new Operations </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>proposals.</FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> A few people are concerned that the
additional operations add too much complexity to justify the expected benefit.
<BR>> Until someone actually (re-)confirms that the proposed operations are
desirable, it was suggested that they could be deferred.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We plan to implement them, eventually. What's wrong
with having them as standardized, optional extensions? Then, if you don't
need them, you needn't be bothered by the complexity. I confirm that
they're desirable.</FONT></DIV>
