I believe you may have misinterpreted. If the existing handlers cannot be reused,
then I have reservations about having to come up with a complete parallel
implementation that will deal with all the issues covered previously -memory usage,
falling back to UD mode and the like for what I believe will be seldom used.
I therefore want to come up with a "minimal" implementation that will be
RFC compliant.
