Re: To "lose the argument in the WG"

In article <00e13499-7cea-a79a-7de1-dd9bad4bc530(_at_)dcrocker(_dot_)net> you 
write:
While, yes, there will be times that the new folk see something new or 
better, that's not the usual occurrence.  The usual occurrence is that 
folk who are experienced with the topic and are tired from the extended 
effort have to rehash their work and defend it to folk who have not done 
their homework.

Sometimes that's true, but sometimes the situation arises to which
John Klensin alluded: a WG does something that crosses topics, and
what they decide makes sense from the viewpoint of topic A but not
from topic B.  I've certainly seen that happen a few times in the
recent past.

R's,
John
