The valid concern to which I refer, is your wish for a "strong SSP".

As I also intimated in that off-list message (and I wouldn't quote you
back to the list without asking first btw), I do not care what the
WG participants think of one another's motives. So in case anyone is
confused I in no sense agree with Hector's "hijacked" remark, and nor
do I think such remarks are useful in a list message. Not that Hector
is the only one who uses such purely pejorative terms of course.
(Sometimes this list reminds me of nothing more than a bad coaching
session with the under-12 footballers.)

Lastly, the text above is hardly informative in terms of what should
be in reqs-01 (that has not been stated already), so this appears to
be a content-free thread at the moment.

Stephen.
