Cliff, Ted, et. al. Athenans:

I'm delighted that the final (?) protocol spec is available.

It is my understanding that the currently available "Beta" software does not
conform to this revision of the spec, and will not be interoperable with 
implementations of the final spec.

When might we hope to see the MIT implementation of this revision of the spec?
