Without sufficient review, there is a good chance that the protocol will be heavily flawed.
And running code, for that matter. Putting it on the shelf certainly won't help with either, methinks.
Note that the current issues are not the only ones for draft-ietf-dane-smime. Eric Osterweil brought up many proposals earlier that died because no one even commented on them. WG consensus by silence is a good sign that not enough people care about getting the protocol right.
Agreed. But I've not seen silences on the SMIMEA approach either on the list, or in the working group sessions, or in the community, or in lines of code. Perhaps traffic on the list was as much an artifact of 'close hold' editing by some passionate factions on several arguably competing proposals, that's a good problem to have. The WG dialog has and will surely continue to help us form consensus -- only if this isn't put into storage for some arbitrary amount of time.
