Oh, for heaven's sake.  This is nothing to do with punishment.  This
is a straightforward administrative problem.  Turning this into an
opportunity to exercise a heavyweight and in fact punitive process
would be an injustice.  If the IETF has wound itself into such
bureaucratic knots that we can't just make an exceptional decision in
exceptional circumstances, we are in much worse trouble than I
thought.
