Actually, Digital is working to achieve consensus amongst the vendors
who may have 64-bit systems RSN.

Once the basic 64b ELF spec is defined, then the Alpha specifics will
need to be defined, and the Linux/alpha community will be asked to
help with that.

That's the problem with industry-wide standards -- you've got to get
the industry to agree to them :-)
