If what you are asking for is that for every proposal / i-d that shows
up in the IETF, the IPR holder is automatically required to provide an
RF license, you really don't understand the reason people bother with
patents to begin with.

doesn't follow.  it's entirely possible to understand why people bother 
with patents and still believe that IETF shouldn't support their use to
prevent free implementation of a standard.
