I just noticed this...(when replying to Scott's message)...
First - I should point out that there has been some movement on opt-in
(DavidB pointed that out to me separately), I just missed the announcement.
As far as "gaps" ("interstices?") in the hierarchy, the answer is no. This
should be listed as a separate issue. Mostly because the intent is
different (easier adoption in a zone vs. easier adoption in a
tree/application) and the level of maturation of the work. Opt-In is at
the point that where folks can take up sides, covering gaps in the tree is
still in need of research.
PS - The list is IMHO, so if anyone else has comments, you're welcome to
send them. I was just trying to sort out the work to be done in my head
before heading to SLC...
