Absolutely. Which is why we are and will be openly publishing all
new protocols, formats, interfaces, etc. that we happen to develop
in order to satisfy customer demands for new functionality that can't
be addressed with existing protocols/formats/interfaces, and which is
why we're bending over backwards to be fully interoperable with existing
implementations on both the client and server side. Interoperability
is obviously the lynchpin of this whole environment, and in everyone's
best interest.
Cheers,
Marc
