There have been various abortive attempts to discuss this on
rec.games.mud.admin, one of which foundered over the actual NAME of the
scheme. It's not possible to discuss this surrounded by people who think
it should be done using spare telnet option codes though.
I am against adopting Pueblo - it reeks of semi-proprietaryness.
This really could change mudding if we could get enough people to support
it. Everyone having their own conflicting standards is just going to hold
things back.
