All true. And yet, it's very difficult to keep track of everything that goes on in IETF that might affect one's own interests. For example, I care a lot about email, but I never saw the potential for OAUTH to break interoperability of email clients and servers, until I found that I could no longer read my work IMAP email using Thunderbird.
