Just addressing one aspect here that strikes me as being helpful to the
discussion.

First, there is the question of direction for the basic LISP
specification. We can leave it as it is. However, folks have
asked us about moving it to Proposed Standard. Based on our
reading and discussion with relevant ADs, one path to do this would
be to refocus the specification away from the core Internet scaling
problems, and instead towards a scalable anxd flexible overlay
technology. This would not change the technical procedures, but
would have significnat impact on the descriptive text.
This is fine but I am a bit worried we’ll spend time on “texting” and
not creating anything new. We are way overdue in progressing use-case
documents that people want to deploy, so I would like to make sure
one work item doesn’t gate others.
That is, I hope we can work in parallel. Where I do believe we WILL
NOT lose focus.
The re-focusing of of 6830 will probably be almost exclusive
word-smithing. The intention is not to change the protocol behaviors at
all. We will likely remove text that is covered by the introduction and
similarly remove text about solving the core scaling problem. (Yes,
spending energy on wording is annoying, unfortunate, and sometimes
necessary.)
Since it is about the wording, not about changing any formats or
procedures, I very much agree that this can and should go on in parallel
with the work on addressing the technical topics we want to see covered.
Yours,
Joel
