I'm afraid that is not true.

ftpmaster are insisting on changes which we consider defeat the
purpose of our proposal.  See the subthread in which Russ talks about
a "fat client".  This is the heart of the disagreement.

ftpmaster are characterising these changes as minor details.  They are
not minor details.  ftpmaster's proposals demand radically more
complicated software on the uploader's system, than tag2upload.
