But the IETF is not open to opinions which vary from its core stated
opinion, and that is constrained by the people speaking for the IETF as
a whole. Its one of the key flaws in giving a technologist a voice
beyond being a technologist. As to fairness BULL SH*T. The IETF is
anything but fair or open in form.

Then what is an IETF Standard? - it is pure intellectual property and
the refusal by the IETF to embrace that is one of the issues the IETF faces.
