Bruce opined: -- I also (i.e. in addition to JFC) find that characterization offensive. I am responding to an IETF New Last Call in accordance with established procedures, and within the time period established. I had at one time entertained an informal approach to addressing the procedural issues, but given such an accusation, I am now inclined to use the formal procedure outlined in RFC 2026 section 6.5.2. -- Doug Ewell is a contributor to the Langtags process and maintains the prototype registry, but he is not an author of the draft. Maybe you should wait and see how the authors address your comments before taking such a position. Working through the issues is more productive than seeing who can get their back further up against the wall. This process is about developing consensus and your comments have been beneficial, even if we don't agree entirely with all of them. I am preparing a new draft that includes some of the minor alterations you requested. Let's see if that addresses your concerns. Regards, Addison Addison P.
