I don't care myself about dogmas.
But there's an established process to do these things:
* You propose to change the existing behavior, and normally explain
what's that beneficial, and maybe you elaborate on why you are not
pursuing any possible alternatives.
* Once you gain consensus on the changes, you apply them.
That was the OSI model.
Huh? What does OSI ahve to do with that??? I'm referring to existing
IETF process to publish a spec.
And that's the procedure/rules that are normally applied to some of us,
mere mortals that don't happen to be working for a big vendor.
The Internet was based on a model of permisive experimentation.
The IETF is a catalyst for generating the necessary critical mass for
deployment. But some deployments don't need a catalyst.
Then I suggest you email the webmaster at www.ietf.org, because the text
there must be outdated, then.
