Phil.  You have captured the essence of the IETF.  It is their home - 
and how most of the world views that collective.  And at some level it 
has value to different people and institutions, especially the participants.

What has been forever amazing over the past 25 years, however, is how a 
virtual internet concept devised by Louis Pouzin and imbued with lots of 
funding for tinkering by DARPA and then NSF, became the foundation for a 
religious cult that views themselves as the all-powerful guardians of 
some self-implementing specifications that are the salvation of 
humankind.  You have to admit, that is freaky.

Enough said....
