That is a very sane suggestion, we can plan on that!  I'll remove the CTCP 
reference from the draft and submit it sometime next week (if there are no 
further comments from anyone?).   Then we can tackle the current CTCP 
practices and file sharing after we get the connection negotiation draft to 
a stable point!

Cheers!
