Chris -

[... trimmed out the restated points ...]

I also strongly object to your statement below:

" I've asked for cases that this draft would break things, not whether it has warts 
or not."

This suggests (intentionally or not) that so long as a draft doesn't break 
anything it is OK to consider it for adoption. I hope we have a higher bar than 
that.

No, I really don't think it suggests that if you read my email on this. I think 
it's pretty obviously that I'm only talking about this draft, and specifically 
in the context of there having already been a great deal of discussion already 
during the adoption call. I am specifically asking that people not rehash that 
discussion again is all.

What one can probably safely infer though, by the email, is that it's looking 
to the chair like there is rough consensus to adopt the draft. The bar is not 
as high for adoption as it is for WGLC, and so the consensus can be rather 
rough.

Adoption is no guarantee of publication.

In fact, one could imagine someone (perhaps from the objecting group) writing 
an *info* track document that concisely describes how to tie together existing 
IS-IS and OSPF technologies to more cleanly solve the same problems this draft 
is targeting, if that is indeed possible, this possibility has certainly been 
suggested in some emails.

One could then imagine this new document is seen by (a rough consensus of) the 
WG as a better, cleaner route to take, and so the WG publishes the new document 
content (either as a newly adopted document, or as large modifications to the 
existing adopted document) instead.

Thanks,
Chris.
