I agree with Wayne, Chuck and PHB on this - a new standards group is

In ANY area where a standards group exists, it's irresponsible to
deliberately cause fragmentation by setting up a competing one just
because you can't get the existing one to give you what you want.
Agreed... though I would add a tiny set of additional caveats... to wit...
"In ANY area where a [properly functioning and independent] standards
group exists... etc."
So... since the IETF is not a properly functioning and independent
organization I have no problem with doing what needs to be done.
