And who gets to define "appropriate"?
It's already been pointed out that we could list every current tag's value
and a pile of other stuff to pass on to the next layer, which may or may not
find it useful, but that would make for an extremely messy protocol.
Protocols need to be kept simple.
4871 was simpler yet: it had no notion of an "output". It relied on the
developer to consider what was appropriate to deliver up the food
chain.
I should also expand that this entire situation started with Crocker
insisting that we must "choose" between between i= and d=
as The Output. It was a false dilemma then, and it remains
a false dilemma. And as with all false dilemmas it only causes
heat instead of light.
