Given that Tor, GNUnet, I2P and NameCoin have all been developed outside
of the IETF, I find the idea that IETF is *creating* the competition
odd. The competition *exists*, and has in many cases existed for more
than a decade.  I'm rather sure none of them has a single RFC or WG
draft describing any significant part of their protocols at this point,
except mabye RFC 1984. So saying that IETF is *creating* the competition
is a mischaracterization.

What I keep suggesting is that at this time, the IETF should *document*
the existence of said competition. Nobody proposed obsoleting DNS and
standardizing GNS at this point ;-). We wrote them in support of RFC
2826, reading it as applicable to the domain name space and not just the
DNS name space --- which is in my mind the only technically desirable
interpretation).

Best regards,

Christian
