While I largely agree with Fernando on everything he said, I have to

I guess the only new input for the IETF last call is this:

Although I don't want to point a finger at particular people or
organizations without an evidence, I guess not a small number of 6man
participants (not only those who explicitly spoke up here) suspected
that the decision process was biased with the influence of a large and
powerful organization and the process and resulting "consensus" was
not really a fair one.  And I'm not an exception to it - in fact, it
was so unbelievable to me that we can't clarify an ambiguity even when
we were also open for future extensions, that I couldn't think of
other reasons than a company agenda.

Of course, it's quite possible that it was just a coincidence that
many people with the same organization genuinely thought we should
leave it ambiguous while many others strongly thought we should
clarify it but few (if not no) people from that organization supported
the clarification.  But I don't think we can prove it either way.

But as Fernando said, I believe this point (and that several, and
arguably more, participants suspected it) should be included in making
the decision at the IESG and at the IETF last call.  And, whatever the
decision, it would be more productive to move on after that and use
our time for some other things.

I'll shut up here on this so I won't be a cause of another 600+ email
thread.
