Sorry - that IPR uncertainty is not resolved by a long shot.  We are now
in a situation where SRP is considered potentially encumbered in the absence
of "no license needed" or offers of Stanford-like licenses from Lucent and
Phoenix, and I don't view those as realistic possibilities.  That is what
I meant by not being able to turn back the clock.  We have to do the
DH-CHAP analysis.
