Randy,
This was a matter of significant discussion on the ietf-822 list, and
the current draft is fundamentally different from my original
submission, as a result of that discussion. My original spec was
problematic in a number of ways, some of which had been an itch in my
brain that I hadn't adequately perceived.
The decisive "I could have had a V8" moment came with Ned's posting on
21 Oct (6:43am, by my MUA) titled: "Review of and suggested changes for
draft-crocker-inreply-react-01.txt".
Really, it my reaction(...) was that this was m u c h better than
what I'd designed.
