I think we actually agree, but I didn't express it very well. It's one
thing to say this is a way to send emoji intended to be displayed as
reactions to prior messages, another to offer advice about how that
display might work.
That and more. IME it's not that the IETF comes up with the wrong UX
answers,
it's that they ask the wrong UX questions.
Now, anticipating Dave, it may well be that we're not alone in this,
and that
only actual experimentation can determine the right UX direction to
take. If
so, it's just another reason why we need an experiment.
Well... Totally bikeshedding on this issue...
I'll claim it very much is NOT another reason for the IETF to treat this
as an experiment. (In effect, that would expand the scope of concern
for the IETF, which exactly what we should avoid, wrt this realm.)
I have no doubt that UI designers can find useful presentation
approaches. I don't consider that a risk. (They might do it less well
or better, but doing something useful isn't that tough 'for someone
trained in the art'...)
The risks I do see are the ones now listed in the draft. And these are
reasonably within the purview of the IETF.
