That's what I was driving at but I didn't explain myself well. Once Ozy 
has a TCP/IP stack, then the temptation is going to be to dump all sorts 
of interesting goodies on top. Of course that's not a problem if the 
additional cost is marginal and people are happy to risk wasting their 
energies.

I wasn't suggesting that Sasquatch should be folded into Ozy - I was 
saying the opposite. It sounded to me like others were getting close to 
this scenario.
