We really need to get this published, and in the interest of
making progress I will not block the addition of two bytes
to the extension. I am highly reassured by Viktor's suggestion
that they will never be used, as unused fields with murky
semantics have never been shown to be a problem in IETF
protocols. (<- I don't actually believe that, but hey).
I disagree with adding these bytes but I can learn to live
with it.
Something that actually is a concern is that we now have
a working demonstration that refusal to compromise is an
effective strategy and that DOSing a document is a good
option if you can't otherwise convince other working group
participants. This, however, is a problem for the chairs
and the IESG.
So, onward.
Melinda
