NML will create a base schema with generic concepts. It would be very
useful to push out some technology specific schemas at roughly the same
time, and I think Ethernet is a prime candidate for that.

I've created some technology-specific schemes in NDL, but certainly
don't consider myself an expert.

Would you be willing to work with me on a Ethernet schema? That would be
extremely useful and helpful to us. As a first step, I like to call you
to go over the above variants, and decide together how many sublayers
there are in Ethernet. (where a sublayer is an encoding of a datastream,
thus with a given frame header). I can make time for this in about a
week from now.

Thanks,
