OK, it seems that RFC1436 is the way to go for the redesign.
perhaps instead of repeated sarcasm and put-downs, you could explain
technically what it is you want in the user interface of the ietf web
site and the features needed to support it. that way, folk actually
trying to wade through the redesign decision actually have something
to consider.
fwiw, i have seen usable and featurful web sites that are done with
pretty simple technology and work in very sparse user environments.
