Thanks.

Yes, the document expired. (I got distracted with some other projects that
took priority).

There are a few minor changes that need to be made (yes Marc, I remember the
comments you sent me back in 2002!)... guess I should prepare the next draft
and get it out ASAP.

If anybody is interested, I have a demo server that implements these
commands for those that like to play... but it needs a bit of work (read:
more security!) before I can unleash it.

Cheers from Luxembourg,
