I agree. I think the more labelling of content is possible, the
better the chance is that we can come up with proposals that will
meet everyone's needs. Once there are actually viable, interoperable
ways to move forward, we can hope for widespread change.
Otherwise, all we do is end up arguing about making tradeoff X
instead of tradeoff Y, which is hardly ever compelling.
