Hey Jon,
The standard as it exists is something that got the rough consensus of the
working group, and that rough consensus is worthy of a little respect. Perhaps
not too much, but certainly a little. The problem with making the protocol
match one’s own opinions is that it’s effectively saying not only that what
one thinks is right in some sense, but also that other people’s opinions are
wrong and that no one else should do something different.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I think I understand where some of these
decisions are coming from a little better now.
