:)  Perhaps our philosophy has expanded a little bit
here with the stand alone LDS idea.  But it doesn't
seem to have changed the design of the LDS itself
much.

I was thinking that NO VRS will accept unknown LDS's.
We must remember to keep service users and node owners
clearly seperate.

Although, I suppose it would be quite possible to run
a VRS that would accept anyone, I don't see a reason
to do this.  But there most certainly might be one
that I just don't see.
