Keld is right.  I posted an early draft of the "Future Directions"
in this news group.  More thinking has been done and AT&T have
carefully laid out what we think is a clear but prudent path.
Understanding that statement of direction should help the community
proceed on this problem in a cohesive way.

Issue 2 of the SVID can be obtained from UEL at the address below
(you can always just mail {mcvax!ukc!}uel!uel).
In addition to the words on future directions, it has defined
more extensions, fixed some errors, and added (wonderful!) indices.
