arch-2 had been proposed in the WG, and the original idea for the 
comparison document was to cover all the proposals. Now that the 
number of proposals is huge, and the fact that many of the 
most-talked-about proposals don't have active Internet Drafts, and 
the fact that I have become a proponent of one of the solutions, and 
the fact that no one commented on the comparision document, I have 
given up on the document. The WG chairs may want to get someone who 
is neutral to keep it alive, but I'm not sure it is still useful.
