We did, but what's disheartening is that people persistently use this 
model as rationale to justify a protocol change of one form or another.

Maybe we need an ID which states this explicitly: "Large broadcast 
domains considered harmful"?  As long as we have broadcast domains, 
people will be tempted to make them too large and will express surprise 
that they don't scale well.
