Jeffrey Altman replied:

I haven't studied it all that extensively,
so correct me if I am wrong, but with the
new "DAL" stuff there is now an opportunity
to do a 'proper' job of multi-master KDCs
(dare I say it) in a "ubik-like" or "AD-like"
manner.

Is there anybody out there already looking at this?
