So what? That an AD doesn't preclude your analysis doesn't give it any positive value. It simply means that ADs are inclusive, as they should be. It certainly doesn't make your analysis a pre-requisite of anything, does it? What you need to show is why your analysis warrants special merit. For at least two reasons. First off, every man and his dog has a perspective in this space, why is your perspective so special compared to the 100s of others participating here? Second off, we've been given very specific instructions that maximize WG formation and those instructions are orthogonal to your analysis. Why should we focus on your analysis to the detriment of energy expended on WG formation? One possibility that you might help us with is this. Is your analysis about pre-WG formation or post WG work? As a final note, your analysis seems very late in the day. We are no more than a week or so away from the BOF, yet the derived I-Ds are already on their second iteration and the whole premise was first raised in IETF60 around a year and a half ago. To question fundamentals now, seems unfairly late in the game. Mark. _______________________________________________ ietf-dkim mailing list http://dkim.org
