Lars,
As I understand it, the characterization was correct. The level of the bar
you appear to be setting is appropriate for progressing an ID out of the WG,
but completely insane for evaluating a personal submission for becoming a WG
item. In the abstract, requiring multiple interoperable implementations of
personal drafts essentially codifies that the IETF process is irrelevant...
At the end of the day the market only cares about interoperable
implementations. The only thing they look to the IETF for is a reference for
getting the vendors to play together in the sandbox. If the IETF process
starts requiring the vendors to play nice in the sandbox BEFORE being
blessed by the wisdom of those who are here to protect us, what is the
point? Once the vendors play together the market could care less if the
protectors of the world have rubber stamped their creation.

James characterization is inaccurate. See my other email.
