David, What's missing from this thread is input from Nokia. I found it interesting that the same list of patents submitted to the IETF was omitted from the "unwilling to license" declaration made to ISO and IEC. My understanding of the compromise made by the people at the meeting is that they either do not believe that the declaration made is credible or that it is in some other way irrelevant. It's interesting that you seem to be trying to "save" the people who made this decision and their employers from it.
