Ned,
With all respect to you and Keith, this recent thread and
both of your remarks below come perilously close to saying
that Quality of Service is entirely subjective and therefore
interoperability testing is a waste of time for Internet
Fax services.
More thought should go into partial delivery, sure. But at
the end of the day, there should be some entirely *objective*
tests that determine conformance or non-conformance. Citing
the technology problems of traditional Fax (analog lines)
and Internet mail (wide variation in quality of deployed
infrastructure) is a fruitless form of waffling.
My two cents,
- Ira McDonald (consulting architect at Sharp Labs America)

Yup. And this isn't going to change no matter what the standards say.
