i think this document is just silly.  and highly subjective.  there is
no way to edit it to correct its problems -- it should just quietly die.
IAB should preserve its relevance and integrity by limiting its focus
to objective technical matters (such as the excellent work on wildcards
back when COM and NET each had wildcards), rather than fluff like this.
