You didn't expect it would help, did you? :-) One could sit back, observe this and have fun, but it is worth considering that such proposals may have unwelcome side effects. In September, a popular Czech online journal published a short article starting with a sentence like "The new IPv10 protocol is intended to solve the problems of IPv4 and still little-used IPv6." Quite naturally, the discussion exploded with reactions like "Is the IETF kidding us?", "How could the IETF do something so stupid?" A few people including myself tried to explain that an individual draft really means nothing but apparently general technological public gives the IETF documents more weight than they sometimes deserve. Perhaps some kind of elementary sanity filter on individual drafts would be useful.
