Sandy - The very fact that "The three documents have been in the working group for the same length of time" is PRECISELY why I have this concern.  

Until we've agreed upon requirements we intend to design for I don't know what problems we profess to be solving in a proposed protocol and therefore I am not capable of assessing if a protocol is meeting said requirements - the point of transparency here is so that others [who didn't bring these documents into the WG as a set] can have a fair say about their content before we progress.  

Further, if there wasn't such an apparent disconnect at the earlier stages of the process (e.g., what problems we are solving for), or IF we were designing these things in an IRTF group as EXPERIMENTAL and not as IETF Standards Track documents, I might be afforded the opportunity to care less.
