I suppose what I am thinking is that since there are no "IETF Police", then the only "teeth" there are in the standards is the ability to say "this is not compliant". That is not a trivial thing. People pay attention to that. [WEG] The IETF doesn't do compliance testing either. The only teeth in any IETF standard is you as a customer telling a vendor that they must support a set of IETF standards (that you explicitly define by giving them a list), and then doing your own testing to ensure that it meets your requirements, and not buying it or requiring fixes from said vendor if it fails your tests because it didn't implement the standard completely or correctly.
