This discussion is about AS1.  Now, if you are suggesting that AS1 should 
be delayed until it is brought in line with AS2 ......

That's as maybe, AS1 doesn't define how they should interoperate though.

BTW, I'm still not sure what point you are trying to make.  Was it 
anything to do with the issues I raised ? 

With apologies to the tech. folks on this list,  reading the AS1 document 
reads like a licence to Market and not a technical description of an 
interoperable mode of operations.  Heck, according to this, telnet to port 
25 is AS1 compliant.
