The 'fools' (ahem) at the IETF also wrote: RFC 2817 - Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP/1.1 Next to that there is of course IPv6 to solve your coffee pot problem and if you can show your RIR of choice that you need IPv4's you will get them too, so stop whining there is enough address space. Also please note that any one is 'free' to do work for the IETF. It is an 'open' organization just like most other 'open' organizations. Greets, Jeroen
