Well it is hardly surprising that companies would insist that a
protocol they are being asked to support actually support their
business model. If the IETF wants any vendor, ISP or end user to 
support the standards it suggests it had better meet their
requirements.

I think what we are seeing here is projection. Replace the word 
'vendors' with 'narrow cliques persuing personal agendas' and
you describe the actions in DNSEXT to oppose DNSSEC deployment
perfectly.
