Sorry I don't know what the IHY plans are in this respect. Possibly
Peter knows the answer to this?

By the way here is the link to the SPASE project that was mentioned
by Kirk:
http://www.spase-group.org/

And links to the VxOs he mentioned can be found on this page:

Ok point taken regarding the need for STAP to support STC.
