To complete the story for newcomers...I did bring up EPP just because when EPP
was discussed in IETF, I was the responsible Area Director. So I am (a)
definitely aware of the problem, and (b) still annoyed over the result.
If I could travel back in time and try again...
Anyway....
So, the example was very explicitly chosen so that my story was not to blame
any individuals, but the situation which I am both part of an frustrated of.
