Hi Ondrej,

Here's the problem I'm having: I don't know what you mean. What is
"cloud"?  What does "will follow OCF specification" mean?

Note that UDP support is not optional for OCF, afaik. I could be wrong
about that, but if not an implementation that supports only tcp and not UDP
could not be considered OCF-compliant.

If OCF support is secondary in your project, why should it be hosted by the
main OCF website?

Fwiw I'm not against it in principle, but iotivity is sufficiently chaotic
already.
