- There is yet another problem: scope. I'm in the process of reviewing
- 1003.6 draft 13. Lots of good work went into it and there is lots that I
- can agree with but my biggest problem is what they left out. IMHO 1003.6
- won't REALLY be complete until the year 2000, if then, given that I&A and
- lots of other things are not currently in the standard. Even for what is
- being standardized, my biggest problem is usability. For example, you can
- have audit, but no commands (none!) that deal with audit.
-
- I'm not sure what the answer is, but if we're not careful it will
- be Windows NT:-(
