Alan,
	I would indeed be interested in the details, since there are
still parts of DCA touting the eventual closing of the mail bridges
and the rehoming of hosts to their proper side.  Then there's the
issue of dual-homed hosts....  

	If DCA isn't serious about the architecture they have
advertised as the target, then we should eliminate the mail bridges
altogether, connect MILNET and ARPANET as one, and improve performance
for everyone!  Perhaps a changing of the guard at DCA has made
past work obsolete, but they need to tell both themselves and the
outside world that that is so (if indeed it is so).

	Walt
