I think something has to be done, because on first level of inspection,
it looks like a reasonable solution to problems of the policy variety -
such as overlapping use of names or establishing different schemes with
other authorities.  It is only once a person dives in that they discover
it is broken.

Personally I would have preferred a miracle fix to this but I understand
that isn't going to happen and probably isn't even possible given global
deployment.  Something I think a pity, but I think you have to put a
stake into it or it will remain a temptation.

I guess I think it is more than a red herring.
