Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is very, very funny. I<br>
would like to be appointed Alphabet Tsar.<br></blockquote><div><br>Good shot!!!<br><br>This is exactly what you are called. This is for your RFC 3066 tenure of the RFC 4646 langtag reviewer business (that you refused, the IESG never appointed you to, and RFC 4646bis should review).<br>
<br>Don't you think we are grown people? This bickering only removes further credibility to your critics. You are a world acknowledged expert in character sets. Your response about semiotics confirms that linguistics is the largest and most complex existing scientific field. No one can call himself a "linguist" expert. Except may be the IETF, but it should be spelled out in the Charter. Your comment on chaos also shows that you are not in tune with network topology. Everyone has a speciality. "IETF responsibility" precisely means to listen to everyone contributions. You may positively oppose those contributions, but not with ad-hominems.<br>
<br>You may have excellent points. Why not to develop them in a professionnal way, as we took on our time to do. We would be glad to discuss them. We are no experts. We only are users you the experts fail for ten years. Believe me, we would only be glad if you shown us wrong and document something we can use. We gave you more than one year and we feel (may be we are wrong) you have not moved an inch ahead.<br>
<br>Sorry. What do you want us to do? We can only try to organize ourselves. And not to follow the tracks you followed since they seem to go to nowhere. Should we keep to be insulted for that? Again, we are users, we do not proceed as fast as you the professional experts. You asked already a big work to answer you. Give us some time to document what we have in mind - and/or experiment. It will not be months. So this will not slow you down.<br>
