	This is, of course, an incorrect assertion.

	But before we dive into yes-it-is/no-it-isn't, I'll ask what
criteria will satisfy those who wish to believe that the technology for
sharing is sufficiently available?  How many deployed examples will suffice
and what are the required characteristics of those deployments?

ps. Discussion at the open IAHC session at the IETF did not, in any way,
demonstrate a strong consensus that sharing wasn't technically viable.
Some debate, yes, but no clear consensus that it was not viable.  Having
someone assert otherwise might be comforting, but it is not accurate.  In
point of fact, my own sense of the discussion was just as I've been
summarizing:  no public standards, but plenty of propriety, off-the-shelf
experience.
