Our views clearly differ on the survivability of 4474 identity through 
SBCs and the survivability of other identity techniques through SBCs.

I don't see how to reconcile those views, as there are ample I-D's
written by myself and others that attempt to explain how 4474 fails
and there are three other techniques that exist as individual drafts.
