I don't see any pressing need to publish these at all, especially given
the (unfriendly IMO) IPR disclosure and (what I believe) is the total
lack of any demand for this technology. I'd be for not publishing them.

Is this a case of I-Ds whose only real purpose is to stoke the marketing
machine of the IPR-holders? If so, is that something we should ignore or
push back against?
