I think I'd probably argue that the context has changed.  It
wasn't *that* long ago that there were publicly-available 
systems with no root password that everybody knew about, too.

But anyway, I don't think it's at all clear to me that navel-
gazing is impeding progress on BGP or HTTP.  I think it's 
possible that more navel-gazing may be called for, actually,
to solve problems like this.  

I think there has been a sufficiently large number of ridiculous
legal threats thrown around to suggest that getting policies
nailed down and written up isn't a bad idea.
