This would mean a change in the encoding alphabet, breaking any implementations of the existing draft which use mechanisms other than Kerberos or SPNEGO. I would like to know if there exist any deployed implementations that would be so broken. If there are, I think we would instead want to keep the encoding currently in the SASL GSSAPI draft, calling it by a name other than "base32". -++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**==--++**== This message was posted through the Stanford campus mailing list server.
