    Henrik,

    I am trying to understand the following:

    do you either:

    1) have a ready solution which you would like to offer us to make into a
    standard

    or

    2) have a nice idea which you would like help to develop before it works and
    is then made into a standard?

    I have nothing against making new mappings for IPP, but I would like us to
    finish off the stuff we are already working on before taking on further
    tasks. If there are new resources available to work on mappings to other
    transports - fine. If not, I would like to hold off a little still and try
    to wrap up the things we have been working on for the last year or so first.

    Carl-Uno
