Robust, wrong action in defense of IETF reputation is a precedent worth
avoiding. The quoted statement makes no assertions about IETF policy, but
simply says the proponents of DMARC would like to publish the spec through the
IETF. There is nothing wrong with them saying this. If you think it means
the IETF has endorsed the spec, no amount of word-smithing or protest is going
to help. More likely it's going to be a sound bite on some news program
talking about a dispute between "those crazy boffins."
