All,
I propose to completely remove section 5 of this draft.
The reason:
The IETF should *NOT* document any comment on any "multiple standards"
developed by other SDOs which are outside of the IETF's scope.
Especially standards like like SONET/SDH, CDMA/GSM.
The current text reflects the author's impressions, and since I don't
believe that the authors were involved in the debates when these
standards were developed, they *DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH* to comment
authoritatively on them.
Isn't that why this draft is targeted as an *individual and
informational* draft? Since that is the case, I don't see how your point is
relevant to the document at hand.
The IETF should refrain from documenting things that might offend
other SDOs concerning standards issues in which IETF was or is not
involved.
That is your opinion. However, please observe that other SDOs document
and cross-reference each others' works all the time often adding their "2
cents". For example, take what the BBF does with many IETF standards.

Best regards, Huub.
