                 A few more thoughts on this thread.

                 Why do you suddenly think that it is important for only 
people with knowledge of a topic to contribute to standards? Where does 
that leave the ITU-T's input on MPLS?  I can give you many examples of 
where people who had no qualification as "experts" in a particular field 
have contributed to standards, but I will refrain from doing so so as to 
not "offend other SDOs" as you say below. 8)

[MB] This individual draft is now in IETF last call.  At this stage it 
should represent the opinion of those who are experts in the field. 
Clearly during the development of a draft all interested participants, 
expert or not, should provide input.
