Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] ORP in less than 200 words

hi Volker,

i think this goes in the same category as Amadeu's note earlier in the day -- 
i'm not sure what we're going to do with this, but i don't think it's fair to 
the WG to put it in Section 6.  we haven't subjected this proposal to the same 
level of scrutiny, and we haven't polled on it.  

again, sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
