I've been loosely following Bill's work on TCPCT since early last year and although I have an interest in it, I've had no spare cycles to contribute anything concrete to the discussion, specification or implementation effort. I'd be happy to eyeball patches but it would be good to get others involved as well if possible - I'm stretched too thin to be reliably useful at the moment and for the foreseeable future. Andre would definitely be a good reviewer for this work. Others of course welcome. Cheers, Lawrence
