It is my understanding that you are advocating that IETF abandon its 
attempt to mandate an MTI codec. How is this any different (on a 
practical level) than voting "No MTI"?

I'd rather settle on the 3rd-best codec than no MTI at all. Whether we 
reach a compromise through voting or alternative approaches such as the 
one brought up by Gaëlle doesn't really concern me.
