Stef,
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
If anyone should object to others doing what we have found to work,
and documented in the most open way we have found possible,
I will volunteer to laugh at them in public.

(Humor: If we have 2 implementations of the IETF standards process,
we can actually move that from BCP status onto the Standards Track,
something believed impossible for a process, because interoperation
could not be demonstrated when there was only one of them :-)
