IMHO the proponsal of the paper is trying to solve things of the 6th OSI
level on  the kernel, moving things that  are now being resolved by the
applications in the kernel.

 For me, it sounds strange with OSI glases to put the session layer on the
kernel clustering framework -this is the overview proponsal main idea-.

 I also can not find how to but all this XML stuff on HP clusters. Maybe
is my lack of understanding, but all the problems that is trying to solve
the proponsal were already solved by the application libs that are being
used.

 Cluster transparency and performance -the two main interests of HP
clustering- are not improved with this proponsal. And performace can be
penaltied.

 Yours:

David
