Encouraging the use of our work - our standards - is exactly the issue
here.
You're trying to impose privacy requirements on a use-case where they
simply
don't make sense.
Given this years revelations in the privacy field that is a statement I
find slightly bold.
You'll have to explain the connection then, because I don't see it. We're
talking about refusing to allow unprotected access to public standards
documents. That's the use-case in question; nothing else.
Since it is perfectly innocent to perform this fetching, the Government(s)
need not be privy to this -- and we should encrypt. The trust that the
Government(s) will only tap the traffic of those that are a grave concern
to their security interests has completely vanished.
