   so "let the market decide" is a lousy rule.  there's no justification  
   for it.  it's just the sort of thing that someone says when he fears  
   competition from a better product.

The original focus of IETF was to create and firm-up the Internet.  That
war was won.

You're complaining that some application-layer stuff like IM isn't as orderly
as you'd like.

I don't see the connection between your complaint and the original
focus.

Now, refining a few core protocols -- that'd be great.  Trying to be
the government of all protocols -- huh?  The SRFI process, in the world
of Scheme programming, seems to me the more utilitarian approach to 
working on higher-level protocols: there's nearly nothing to fight over
in that process.
