This is not a rhetorical question. -Tim Because they don't apply to the document we are being asked about. We aren't being asked about a document defining use cases. Whenever you implement *anything* involving *any* standard, some of the use cases might infringe any number of patents. That's a problem between the implementor and the patent holders, and doesn't concern the standards body.
