I quite agree about not discussing the above questions, or even considering them in any formal manner on this list or IESG discussions.  I sympathize with the curiosity that stems from those questions, but they are quite out of scope of the IETF in chartering WGs.  But if others feel differently, I would like to see how this same litmus test has been conducted in the past for *all* other BoFs, working groups, and even drafts.  Point being -- that's a very nasty rathole to fall into.

cheers,
