I agree. But should we not as a community try to produce results which attempt to be consistent? If a feature in the network layer break assumptions in the application layer then (setting aside the discussion of whose fault the inconsistency is) if we want to be consistent one has to give. I put it to you that the difference between 'keeping' and 'removing' in this case is just in our heads.
Eg. keeping SL in the original form (I agree this is a hypothetical situation) would have implied removing features from several protocols. Did we remove SL or did we keep those protocols intact?
Cheers Leif
