And you think that it is possible to do such a thing without all of the
considerable, formal mechanisms that normally accompany having one
institution (the IETF) pass judgement on another (the vendor) especially
when that judgement carries financial impact on the vendor?
And you think that the vendor will not return the favor and seek financial
impact on the IETF(and its participants)?
Think again.
not possible if one has not thought the first time.
let's talk about the format of rfcs in this thread too, so we can bundle
the bad ideas we seem to discuss periodically every six months or so and
get them all out of the way quickly. i think they should be in the new
microsoft mime format and a subsidiary organization should be chartered to
certify their compliance.
