Sigh. Even if this is not official, I fear that this will distract
valuable energy from the problem determination effort.
I can understand the occasional foray into potential solution space.
But why is it that we cannot take the time to gain a comprehensive
understanding of our problem before we start investing much more energy
on solutions?
Maybe this is IETF's primary problem?
