I am not a supporter of the NSI Testbed because it is a premature 
implementation of a proposed standard and encourages similar non-standard 
deployments.

However, VeriSign does have the financial clout to test the Walid patent in 
the Courts. Now it has committed to this standard - (because that's what 
the "testbed" is) it has a real commercial need for the full deployment of 
this standard. So how about spending the money Matt? - this would be real 
support - roll out your attorneys.
