Speaking as an IESG member who may soon have to evaluate these
documents as proposed standards I would like to see the results of
a survey (not a vote, we don't do that :-) ) like the one that Steve
is running.
I have been monitoring this list for quite a while and do not remember
a time when there was quite so much 'discussion' on it. I find it
quite hard to judge the level of consensus present within the group
and would hope that Steve's survey will help to establish at least that
level of understanding. The level seems to be a bit over rough
at this point (30 grit?) even for the IETF. I would like to be shown to
be misunderstanding the tenor and content of the messages I've been
reading and the survey may just do that.

(In response to a number of comments I've seen today, Yes, I am taking a
look at the documents on the virtual table and will give whatever feedback
I have to the authors if the comments are related to document style or
clarity and to the mailing list if the comments are related to technology.)
