  Isn't phase 2 focused on further refinement over existing material for the purposes of vendor acceptance and interoperability? Are broad additions to functionality such as this really warranted?

  If the sentiment of the group really does reflect a need for such spartan advances in functional capability, a better idea might be to start with something more mission-critical. For example, the current specification does not offer a mechanism for simply updating the name of a RegistryEntry.

  I agree with the Policy Administration path. The security model given in the phase 1 specification was not concrete enough to allow for interoperable policy management. This needs further work before we can support any kind of distributed model.
