The question then shifts from "is there a problem with 'this' (whatever, here 3683) document" to "is there a general problem with the standards process up to and including the IAB appeal". Refusing to address such issues could be interpreted as some kind of evidence by the claimant. Better they try it even if they get it wrong - after all this is IMO about an "attempt to enforce netiquette" on two mailing lists, not a "human rights" question for the UN.
