[Could not finish my question at the open-mic in consideration to fellow IETFrs 
behind me]

Author's stand on the metadata from the presentation and responses:

  1.  Metadata is for innovating and future-proofing
  2.  Metadata is indeed tied to the transport
  3.  Metadata will be standardized as they are defined
  4.  If metadata needs to be used on different transports, it is up to the 
folks defining it to take it to each and every transport and request 
standardization – obviously, these needs happen for every single one of them.

#4 makes absolutely no sense to me, please think about it. Why in the world 
does everybody have to go through the pain on every transport including those 
transports that are not defined yet but will be in the future. Would you rather 
not want these guys to standardize it once and use it in whatever transport 
they need to use ? Isn't that future proofing in a much better way ?

Surendra.
PS: BTW, this is no endorsement of the draft; rather wanted to get this 
straight given the discussion; I had to state It, sorry.
