I am going to assert that the people that go to the various SDO are all of approximately the same ability - indeed many IETFers go to more than one SDO, so there is a sort of existance proof. I am going to also assert that the work of most of these SDOs is of equivalent sophistication and complexity. What is unique about the work of the IETF that it does not need graphics to produce precision specifications when the other SDOs do?
I think Ned's message sums it up... even if you agree that the current situation is suboptimal, and you agree with all of the assertions above, this experiment will tell us nothing useful. However, it will publish one or more RFCs in a format that the IETF as a whole has not endorsed as acceptable. In that context, the socratic questioning and heated rhetoric from the draft's authors can only be seen as energetic handwaving. -- Robert Sayre _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
