Injong,

Added the reference along with the reference to the internet-draft and
replaced the old text (``XCP can only be used if all routers on a path
support it, making it impractical in the near future'') with the
following:

        XCP can only work if the bottleneck router supports it.  (The
        question of incremental XCP deployment appears to be open
        \cite{falk-xcp-00,zhang-2004-xcp}, but the bottleneck router
        will need to support XCP if XCP's control is to be effective.)
        XCP will only become useful for the purposes of building a
        deployable tool, then, when sufficient number of potential
        bottleneck routers support it.  As the IETF work on the XCP
        specification is still in its early stages, most routers in
        the field are unlikely to support XCP in the next few years.
        Thus XCP, while an excellent congestion control scheme, does
        not appear directly relevant to the need of building a file
        transfer tool that would be usable in the near future.

Does this sound any better?
