Sorry, but AFAIK the NAK by Christoph that I meant was written in a 
public e-mail with full context to the LSM mailing list some weeks ago 
around the end of June (23 June 2010?!) and I thought Kees meant this 
NAK. :D

But thanks for trying to clearify the case.

Sorry Kees, if you indeed meant with private NAK a NAK made in a private 
e-mail.

Have fun
