It ought to tell us something about the state of the IETF... If you want a change from the topic you mention, I commend to you a thread that started as "Plagued by PPTX again" and has forked into a number of interesting strands, among which you will find - the proprietary PPTX format is not as widely supported amongst IETF users as its proponents might imagine and the IETF would work better if its proponents desisted from its use; this problem might be ameliorated by setting tools to convert it automatically into a more widely supported one - the proprietary DOCX format is not as widely supported amongst IETF users as its proponents might imagine and the IETF would work better if its proponents desisted from its use; this problem has already been recognised to the extent that tools convert it automatically into a more widely supported format - modern devices with narrow displays and poor resolution give users a presentation problem that it is worth the IETF's while investigating more closely, a change to media types being one possible outcome All-in-all, one of the more interesting times to track the IETF list.
