Let me point out Mr. Allen is an author of both and a long time
participant in IETF. Seems the 00 draft was from Oct 2006, the patent
filed Jun 2005, and it seems we are just getting the IPR disclosure now.
I didn't have the time to study the patent/IPR disclosure yet. but ...
Given there are many ways to solve this sort of problem, and many of
them are less likely to be IPR encumbered, I'd consider the
possibility that the IESG should send this to the DISPATCH WG to see
if they want to work on finding an appropriate solution to it. What do
other people think the IESG should do with this draft?
Speaking as an individual participant: I would like for something like

fine idea.
