Based on discussions from last month, the general agreement was to use CM 
private data in place of ATS.  Once that's done, I don't see a need for ib_at. 
(Also, put simply, I don't believe that ATS can work.)  I think that a 
combination of what Roland, including his original API design, and Yaron 
proposed is the right direction to go.
