Dear Scott (Brim), There are occasions when limiting the number of deployed solutions is very good for the future of the Internet, and in those cases, pushing for Foo even when Bar is just as good is quite legitimate. Yeah, I agree completely with the sentiment. I just wish there was a tigh

Yakov, Ultimately the marketplace will decide, but when a WG provides multiple solutions to the same problem it has the potential to confuse the marketplace, retard adoption of any solution, interfere with interoperability, etc. Standards ought to avoid confusion, not contribute to it. Stev
