That none of us even wrote an ID suggesting it is fairly indicative of =
that we all - independently I think - thought of this as a hack. Not =
even an experiment as IETF uses the word (though an experiment in the =
broader use of the word).

(An informational ID describing it could have been written, but clearly =
no one thought that worthwhile.)
