- It would be apreciate by some, and can be ignored by the majority.
- AT should put big disclaimer that this documentation is not to be

- And hopefully its free and accesible from an AT ftp/www site.

- An "OS Compliant" label for future software is the way to go.
- AT need to setup such a group for commercial software realese,
