Hehe, yes - the tokens spec document that I have yet to publish. And,
as far as credit is concerned - the RLS is more myrddian's idea than
mine - It was then mutated when I added the tokens idea...
I'm putting a final polish on the tokens spec right now, it's a bit
wordier than the RLS spec was, so it's going to take slightly more
time. I wanted to have it up last night, but that didn't happen as I
had planned...

Hehe, so far - what you're reading is what we've got - and the tokens
spec that I just talked about. I wanted to put these ideas up to the
list before doing anything else. Besides that, Adam Theo has some
interesting ideas about Jabber that might be usable. I suggest taking a
look at the Jabber specs and thinking about how we can
cross-pollinate...
