Hi, Dean,

I was happy with the status-quo. But here's the main problem as I understand it:

People keep either showing up with INFO uses or just inventing them in the wild and propagating them until somebody ELSE shows up at IETF with a "de facto standard" usage of INFO that we have to turn away, thereby wasting our time and theirs, and hurting many people's delicate feelings in the process.

If we had an RFC that said "New uses of INFO are not being accepted by the IETF for the following reasons, please use something else (like an event package) instead" then people might be less tempted to use INFO, or at least to bring it to the IETF.

Speaking as co-chair of MEDIACTRL who's currently looking at text in one of the MEDIACTRL drafts about "why not INFO", that's exactly what I'm hoping for.

Thanks for the excellent and short summary.

Spencer
