John, I don't think the argument is about whether it will work technically or whether it will be used. The argument is about whether this is something that the IETF should endorse as a Proposed Standard, which implies that we think it will be effective. I would have no objection to this being published as an Informational RFC, to document existing practice. But to be completely clear, I was *not* being sarcastic when I compared it to RFC 3514, because its intended semantics can be ignored by any web site operator that chooses to do so.
