Hi everyone,

Well I know I said one week, but it has been 4!  I have tried to add all 
the elements we touched on in our discussions into the draft.  The major 
changes are:

1. Groupings of supported tokens
2. Optional Groupings
2. Error tokens and error messages
3. A section on backwards compatibility with historic dcc
4. Application token to specify the application layer protocol
5. Network and Transport tokens

Please take a look at this revision, make sure I didn't miss anything, and 
if it all looks ok we will send it out to the ietf as an ID for some 
initial comments.

One thing to note is that we reference the CTCP specification, but it is 
not really a specification, just a newsgroup post.  To reference it in a 
draft, it should itself be a standard.  Should we formalize the CTCP 
protocol documentation?  And if so, would anyone like to help undertake the 
task of writing it as an Internet Draft?

Cheers!
Dan
