As Yoav mentioned, the authors are new attendees, and the work is targeted
to an IRTF group at that. I have an acquaintance with them and hope they
aren't reading this, but how do folks think this outcry about seems as a
welcome to do work here?
I worried about that before sending my note, but decided that an
invented example was not persuausive. If there's a fault, it's "ours"
for not making the convention a bit more apparent to newcomers. That's
what needs fixing.
i would mention being liberal in what you receive. but, as a staunch
naggumite, i do not believe that is wise in protocol code. but this
ain't code.
and i think you were a co-author of the first or second draft-ymbk-...
(it's an old joke. when megan asked us to insert the organisation name,
jon said "you must be kidding." so i used that.)
