That's actually my point. There are lots of folks for whom the IPR stuff 
isn't a concern for one reason or another. Those folks shouldn't be 
prevented from getting on with stuff while those who *do* care about IPR 
are figuring it out.

That's exactly what happened with OpenID 2.0. Lots of folks had it 
implemented long before the IPR was done.

If I author a spec then I'm quite happy to sign an IPR non-assert where 
necessary, but the current process is far heavier than that and isn't 
really helping anyone because folks are just writing and implementing 
specs outside of the IPR framework because the IPR framework stops them 
actually getting any work done.
