Current motivation draft stands not to beat other solutions, it stands for justifying to start stateless solution work on the WG so some proponents of stateless solution took a pen. My question is that if the comparison is productive for something, who should work for it, and who should read it. >
I assumed this explanation and comparison would be easy for the stateless experts. I looked to this as a learning opportunity for me. I agree with you and RD, there are many good solutions that fit this problem space and I do not intend to slow progress. If it is difficult and the differences in merit cannot be easily quantified between stateful and stateless , I accept that as an answer. I suggested they be compared since opposites frequently help define each other. Black helps define white just as cold helps define hot. I had assumed this was true for this case as well. Perhaps I was wrong. Thanks again for your contribution. Cb > cheers, > --satoru
