When you say "clients" do you mean the typical client-side protocol
agents, or do you mean something else? If protocol agents, then doesn't
this model inherit the worst of both models, in that it duplicates entry
management and also complicates protocol overhead?

Can I get a pointer to the section of the draft[s] that describes the
model so I can read up on it?
