b) Apple are, at least, producing a public specification in a
reasonable forum for discussion.
Moreover, Mr. Pantos chose IETF rather than some slushpile with looser
editorial standards. We should be happy when a company as secretive
as Apple allows their employees to submit drafts to us, even--
especially-- when the manuscripts that land in our slushpile are not
yet ready for immediate publication.
If IETF doesn't think the information in this draft is worth compiling
into a document worthy of sending to the RFC Editor, then that would
be good for Mr. Pantos to know. It would probably save him a lot of
effort and frustration. I'm sure he looks forward to whatever
constructive feedback IETF participants can provide, and I can assure
everyone here that nobody at Apple feels their employment status
entitles them to any special consideration for their individual
contributions.
