In TrustedComputingGroup Intel was recently suggesting TLS-EAP as an
alternative to another TCG TLS-hack in progress.

Why isn't the TLS WG "biting"?  Who cares if an IETF WG says no?
Why not try other venues such as actually donating code?

The IETF has en huge stack of s.c. "standards" that aren't even worth
the disk-space they occupy!
