Mark,

For the record, the walled garden citation I quoted was from:

    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3002#section-4.2

(really section 4.2.1)

"""
   It was strongly recommended that independent of the ubiquity of the
   "walled garden" deployment scenario that protocols and architectural
   decisions should not target this model.  To continue the success of
   Internet protocols at operating across a highly diverse and
   heterogeneous environment the IETF must continue to foster the
   adoption of an "open model".  IETF protocol design must address
   seamless, secure, and scalable access."
"""

I read this as: don't design for walled gardens.  If they can be made
to work so be it, but they can't really serve as a valid motivation.

This was the closest IAB statement I could find on walled gardens.
Maybe there's another IAB comment someone can find/make.
