Fine. I do see IPR issues, and so do others. Why should your single voice be more valid than our group of voices, particularly on a subject where none of us can prove anything either way?

> It seems that one can block any change to one's own drafts by raising fear, uncertainty, and doubt about IPR ghosts that are not there, and purportedly triggered by suggestions by others who take time to review this on technical merit and that seem ill-founded.

You are badly misrepresenting what happened. You made a proposal *that no one else supported*. No one "blocked" your proposed change.

> If you believe I am wrong here, please communicate with me offline here.

You making this offer in public is disingenuous: you and I *have* had this discussion offline, both when you were a Certicom employee and afterwards. Pretending that we didn't already have the discussion, or that having the discussion again even though neither of us have any better facts would be valuable, is not useful to advancing this document.
