Design documents are incomplete.  Many of the concepts you see in the 
documents written
for AG2 still apply to AG3.  We've changed many of the dependencies for 
AG3 to rely
more on standard Internet technologies, while maintaining interfaces 
that will enable
grid computing on top of the AG.

AG2 uses the C code from the Globus Toolkit 3 release (except on 
Windows, where it continues
to use older GT2 code).  The C code from GT4 would likely also work, but 
we haven't
migrated to it. 

AG3 has no reliance on Globus, but instead relies on standard tech like
SSL, FTP, XML, Jabber, SOAP, with an eye toward greater interoperability
and robustness.

Feel free to ask any questions you need answered.  The ag-dev list
is likely the best place for questions of this sort.
