I agree with what you are saying. Personally, I don't agree with IETF's
view on this, but that's a view against an established consensus and may
not mean much. I'm just not sure we/Authors will be able to use this
document to drive that change. AD's need o push IAB to re-validate those
views, IMO. We are OK to publish this as informational and on a day there
is a change, we can get a standards stamp on this.

My personal opinion on LI:

1.) Operators have to comply to regulatory requirements; what ever may be
the law of the land is. In China, there may be a law to archive every
thing one writes for the next 100 years and the operators have to comply
to that, else they are not in business. That may be the case in post-9-11
US too.

2.) If that operator is deploying protocols that we define here, we should
ensure the LI models are understood and we have standardized solutions for
supporting those models and for achieving vendor inter-operability. Its in
our interest to have that for promoting the technology that we define here.

3.) All though RFC-2804 lists many points as why IETF should not work on
LI, but the real intent is about "privacy rights" and none of the other
points truly stand out. LI Requirements may be very local, but they can
all be generalized and solutions can be developed here. In the worst case,
"Capture every bit and byte that a subject types", how can this be any
local requirement ?

Sri
