Re: [apps-discuss] Call For Adoption: draft-nottingham-safe-hint

[Ted Hardie <[e-mail]>]

Note:  the very first time I came to the IETF in person was to argue
against Nathaniel Borenstein's KidCode
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-borenstein-kidcode/.   The scars I
got from the politics, backstabbing, and insanity that lead through that
discussion to the IETF VAC effort (voluntary access control, see:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-talk/msg01707.html) and on to the
spin up of p3p (http://www.w3.org/P3P/) still throb on cold nights.

There is not even a single bit of good to be done here.  The amount of
misapprehension and mischief available is simply too high.  Forget it and
walk away.

I oppose adoption of this draft.

With all respect to those not quite so scarred,

Ted
