	Team, thanks for the excellent update.  Still a few open questions:

	* Other than the IOCTL, I've missed seeing interface taxonomies.
	* I've also missed seeing the release binding.
	* What's the set of exported interface?
	* 5.6-5.8 seem incomplete to me.  What privileges?  What Rights
	  Profiles, and why?  Perhaps more explicitly, what's the
	  method_context of svc:/network/lms and how does this proposed
	  service comply to the SMF policy:
	  http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/SMF-policy/
	  (which unfortunately is 2 revs behind the internal
	  http://sac.eng/cgi-bin/bp.cgi?NAME=SMF.bp)
	  Yes I'm sending John email once again ;-{
	* 6.15 " is there any way for other software in the system ...
	  that a given network interface is running AMT?"
	  Answer:  "It *should* be possible ..."
	  will this be done?
	* 7 "? Remotely Protect Computing Assets : Through Out of Band
	  communication, each system's software version numbers are checked
	  and, if necessary, system software and virus protection are
	  remotely updated with the most recent patches and virus definitions.
	  Viruses and worms can also be contained at their source, if needed,
	  by means of built-in circuit-breaker functionality.

	  "Intel AMT infrastructure supports the creation of setup and
	  configuration interfaces for management applications, as well
	  as network, security, and storage administration."

	  What does this mean relative to this project?  How are Solaris
	  veriion numbers (service tags ;-) being checked?  How is Solaris
	  system software and virus protection being remotely updated
	  with the most recent patches and virus definitions?

Gary..
