this ID was one of a number of thoughts I offered up shortly after I left the IESG after a decade as general 
proposals to try to get people to think  about our standards process - but, not unlike the newtrk[1] effort of a 
few years later, there was not enough support on the then current management (IAB & IESG) for much progress

but I do not think it profitable to rehash the details of the time at this point
