Which makes it all the more more important that we wait to see what
really ends up getting standardized.  One company's proprietary
software may not get implemented by other vendors.

More importantly, the technology is subject to patents in the US and
probably other countries where such patents are legal.  I don't want
to see FreeBSD dragged into even more legal difficulties than we have
already had.
