No. This is not a problem caused by a casual misunderstanding. It is a problem caused by one D.C. corporate lobbyist intentionally misreading one document and then another D.C. corporate advocate insisting that this misrepresentation was correct. I don't think that there is anything that can be done to prevent people from engaging in such activities other than the expectation of damaging press if they force a rebuttal. -- Website: http://hallambaker.com/ _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
