Michael,
The RFCs since their inception - especially in early years -
were a vehicle for informal exchange of ideas and views -
sometimes even poetry at inflection points. Vint has perhaps
earned the moniker of Internet Bard for his well-crafted
contributions over the years that capture a sense of the times.
The URL of his current contribution is at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-isoc-internet-for-everyone-00.txt
While each of us may differ - even strongly - in reactions as
to how these principles and directions should be implemented,
the draft seems like an eloquent and comprehensive overview
of key challenges.
