I'm not sure it's technically possible for it to take longer to produce a PS in 
the IETF.  You'd have to invent some sort of time distortion device, or send 
the docs on trains to Maastricht. ;)

But I agree with you (and Scott et al) on the general point that reducing 3 to 
2 doesn't solve a problem anyone has.  For example, I don't think being at only 
PS has prevented anyone from deploying HTTP or the myriad of other protocols at 
PS level.  At this point, going above PS is for masochists.
