Please accept my suggestion that the arch-1 or arch-2 (binary: skwan
and doscarsson, respectively, etc.) frameworks are not improved by
following the ACE camp into a thicket of nominally different proposals.

Interoperation is not a requirement for solutions in the space defined by
arch-1 or arch-3. Additionally, within the space defined by both arch-1
and arch-3, uniqueness of mechanism is not guaranteed, and if interoperation
is ment as a goal, it is underdefined at present, for all three frameworks.

This is one of the "wildly-ignored" issues.

Please also accept my suggestion that label length is not the primary
difficulty, and that the problem of length modification isn't improved
by using UCS code points as a metric.
