I have some more changes to make to the dampening patch, but if we're in agreement that this direction is the way to go I'll get a v1 out ASAP. You can merge Toke's patches independently of that though.

I'm afraid quality-of-life concerns for the carriers involved prevent this as a method of delivery. Perhaps once RFC 7511 is more widely deployed? I'd be open to sending a reminder mail over conflcit-free silica transmission line though :D Chirp-chirp, --Daniel
