Don't be shy about naming names....

The MARID WG had one proposal (SPF) with running code and multiple
implementations (I know nothing about whether the other proposals had
implementations). It still failed to reach consensus.

Of the half dozen or so input documents to MARID, both SPF and DMP had
running code.  The WG decided not to adopt either of those two
proposals and instead went with an untested system.  (Ok, at almost
the very last minute, some working code to support the PRA was
created, but no significant testing was done.)


It may say something about the value we place on running code, but I
think it's hard to use it as an example of a situation with NO running
code.

There was NO running code for the PRA during most of MARID's
existence.
