You say that, "Brian". You respond, "SM".

A persistent identifier is helpful in sustained shared multiparty conversation; whether it represents a "real" person or not does not matter.

And who are "we"?

"L."

There is a thread at
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dane/current/msg05855.html and
one at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg81133.html

It is better to focus on the content instead of the messenger.
