+         Proposed Change to Host/IMP Spec to Eliminate Marking
+
+    Before he left for Norway, Dave Walden observed that there was a
+simple change to the Host/IMP specifications which would eliminate all
+"marking" problems.  The change is to separate the leader from the text
+of regular messages, and then to send them as consecutive messages
+instead of one packed message.  The text would then start on a word
+boundary no matter what the word lengths of the machines involved.  The
+process would take place on both IMP-to-Host and Host-to-IMP messages.
+
+    We can see no disadvantages to this scheme, and a sampling of Host
+reactions range from neutral to wildly enthusiastic.  Therefore, we
+tentatively plan to implement this change.  We recognize that this
+change will involve Host program changes, and that the new release must
+be scheduled to coincide with those changes.  We propose providing
+modified Host spec text along with a one week notice of the new release.
+
+    If anyone sees a flaw in this scheme, or is unhappy about it, please
+contact BBN quickly, since a new version of the IMP program is already
+in the works.
