Regarding priorities, what about rolling out some simple client and software tools. Roger's server and my LSID tester could combined into a set of PHP classes, for example. The PHP implementations are much easier to deploy than the Java (gack) or Perl software.

LSID work.

We would like ask you to to please take a look at it and provide
feedback. The document is available at:
