Then programs can be written to use these new features of the protocol to cleanly implement multi-sourcing. Every other approach is bound to fail.

I Agree with that but I still wonder if it would be extendable outside that server or group of linked servers?? Curious to see if and when it will be done? And how good the outcome will be?
