<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=546115021-13042009>"</SPAN>There are plenty more
detailed test cases we'd want to work through if we were planning to base a
mission on this stuff in the near future, but I believe for the purposes of
publishing a Blue Book we have demonstrated interoperation between independently
developed implementations of all of the AMS protocols. I guess we could even do
a little more testing during discussion at the Colorado Springs meetings, to tie
up any loose ends we think remain, but I don't think it should be necessary.
Great work, everybody.<SPAN class=546115021-13042009>"</SPAN></FONT></P>
