I agree with Paul. Having now quickly read the article in question I don't even see what the "problem" is, including the somewhat provocative headline. But if you (collecively) would like a more technical and less "sensational" (if that is your perception of the article in question) approach, we do have at least two journals that can be found at every IETF meeting and two tall editors that go along with them ;-) We're happy to talk to you and we might even let you review the text before it is published ;-) Ole Ole J.
