There are numerous enclosures being created in all different sizes and styles. The

mechanical design of these enclosures is not being defined by this specification.

The ability of these designs to handle all shapes and sizes of capes, especially when you

consider up to four can be mounted with all sorts of interface connectors, it is difficult to

define a standard enclosure that will handle all capes already made and those yet to be

defined.

If cape designers want to work together and align with one enclosure and work around it

that is certainly acceptable. But we will not pick winners and we will not do anything that

impedes the openness of the platform and the ability of enclosure designers and cape

designers to innovate and create new concepts.
