That's the code name for the track on which I'm trying out the ideas  
discussed in Princeton
as a first step, the more flexible scheme for nodes (see the thread on  
the hall discussion) is being implemented; Nodes can have arbitrary  
tags attached; NodeNetworks have also been renamed into Interfaces,  
and Ilinks can connect interfaces with a type and value. This is  
ongoing..

While we're at it we could as easily start trying to split the API  
into several independant parts (for e.g. the component registrar and  
slice management), which would imply to stop relying on internal IDs.
