Right, I know. Apparently it was intentional on the part of the IETF to
not even allow that. Don't look at me; I think it's a stupid decision.
I'm not saying we can't get them to change it, or that we shouldn't try,
or anything else that discouraging. I'm just saying that it isn't solely
a misunderstanding or lack of clarity; there really is an underlying
disagreement here.
