Peter (and others),

If we put a new beta out with that change, would it be useful?

Another idea we bounced about would be just not show the EDS if it wasn't 
approached as a DS, but I am sensing that this would be
less useful that having the return bit of the DS protocol hardwired in as 
some sort of default...
