(and at times that's asking a lot) I'm trying to work with both the EGCS and MICO guys right now to figure out where the problem lies, but the last I've heard on the list is that v1.1.1 is about to be released...is that not more stable then a 'development version'? >From what I'm gathering, it looks like EGCS went super-strict on the conformance side, and MICO might be doing something that the 1.1.x series of EGCS wasn't too strict about, which is causing the breakage...
