	I'm confused.  Can you give me more details on how you think that 
this will help with slave auto-configuration?

	I don't see this helping to solve the "roving master" problem at 
all.  Indeed, that problem can only be solved by revisiting the 
inherent underlying assumptions that were made at the time the 
original RFCs were written and the original implementations were 
created, and seeing if those assumptions can/should be modified in 
the light of subsequent changes to the way the world works, etc....
