i was not trying to stifle discussion. what a wg chair told me was that the essence of a dnsop 
rfc was, "if you're trying to accomplish thing X, here's one way to do it." sadly for me, because 
of the ietf's imprimatur, such specifications will be used in industry as if they were 
recommendations.

in the specific example of edns client subnet, i have previously supplied extensive technical 
argument against the systemic costs of expanding the Q-tuple in this way. those arguments 
did not find consensus in the WG, and are not reflected in the draft. see also 
"afasterinetnet.com".
