It is a pity the IRTF/IETF never seemed interested in enumerating,

As is demonstrated by a fact that having access to the Internet is
an important basic human right today but not in the past when
costly telephone network was *THE* global network, such enumerations
are subject to narrow contexts and can not be so useful.
The IRTF/IETF seemed to always focus highly selectively on a couple
of rights, ignoring the others.
So true.
Enforcement of, so called, inclusive language, such as rephrasing
master/slave to primary/secondary only to authorize/acknowledge/promote
racial discrimination to treat coloreds as secondary citizens long after
slavery was illegalized in US is totally against not only inclusiveness
but also the freedom of speech.
