Instead of trying to fix the current model (meeting fees subsidize a
publishing arm), it might make sense to consider having the publishing
arm be self-funded.
This would be anathema to the IETF; it would impose a much higher
barrier to implementers, and make it expensive for third parties to
determine whether or not a given implementation is compliant. Both of
these would have the effect of lowering the quality of implementations.
Of course, it might be the only way; but we should look *hard* for
alternatives.
