Possibly...which makes a few assumption though...1st is that ORBit
ever catches up to mico and 2 that mico doesn't speed up as it matures :)

Personally, the only thing that I care about is that *we* aren't
the ones that are scrambling to catch up to the 2.2 standard...we have a
clean (albeit slow) solution to work with now, let the other
implementations catch up to that...
