Perhaps.  It could also be that, at the time that RFC 6761 was working
its way through the IETF alimentary tract, some participants in the
IETF tried pretty hard to get people in the ICANN world interested in
it, but discovered that they were all completely consumed with the new
gTLD program.  I'm not sure, however, how much value we'll get in
debating the facts of the past.

Certainly true.  But it is surely equally true that, if we allow
technical needs that we might have to be driven by other groups'
priorities, we'll have to stop work.
