Not even close. First, you're again totally missing the essential point here: That an experimental or informational RFC is NOT a standard. So there is no equivalency between our "doing" an experimental RFC and someone else "doing" a standard. You are the one who compared them, when you said this: We really need to get over ourselves here. We may like to think we're the gatekeepers against standardization of bad stuff, but we're not. There are simply too many SDOs churning out specifciations these days. If you think the comparison is misguided, then you should object to your own point too. Second, AFAIK nobody has even intimated that other standards groups are planning to standardize this particular proposal. Then why did you hypothesize it would happen? It is quite peculiar that you disagree on so many points with te message you posted on Tuesday. Are there two different people posting from your account? _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
