Hi Nathan,

Ah, good catch!  The FIXMEs were left-overs from a time when
the figure references where still hard coded - they are thus
obsolete, and already fixed - and they do not refer to the
transaction labels.


> Should we not put the visual labels /back/ into the figure?

Yes, definitely!  I had only a pdf to start from, and re-did
the figure in xfig now.  Its rather ugly, still, and
definitely needs more work, and yes, the labels are still
missing...

Also, there is an open public comment (from me actually ;-)
refering to the arrows in the figure: they seem to be
unrelated to the direction of data flow or direction of
invocation.  So, that needs to get fixed, too.

If you feel inclined to help smoothing/finalizing the doc,
I'm more than happy to provide you with access to the CVS.
Otherwise, any feedback on this list is very welcome.  Most
useful would be feedback to the open issues raised in the
public comments - for several of them, I am unsure how to
handle them.  I marked the current state of the issues in
the forge tracker (see URLs below).

Thanks, 

  Andre.


Cheers, Andre.
