    the :/:: distinguishing of TCP/DECNET is unsatisfactory...

You are welcome to suggest a syntax for OSI.

    the per host access control is too simple.

Of course, it was intentionally simple.  There's a hook for alternate
mechanisms, use it (we certainly do).

    the XHost structure aint big enough for ISO addresseses!!

Huh?  I don't know what an XHost structure is.  The XHostAddress structure
in Xlib takes a pointer to an address, I don't see any limitations there.
The HOST structure used inside the server explicitly states that it will
need to be bigger eventually, and in any case is an internal implementation
structure.
