It's completely ridiculous to claim that the protests were not against the
current set of IDN drafts. Regardless of their technical merit, they were
clearly directed at the current set of drafts. Claiming that they were not
directed at IDNA specifically would be a red herring even if it were true:
the last call is for all of the documents.

There were objections on other issues as well, which you seem to have
completely ignored. I'll talk about those in another post.

It's obvious that several of the IDNA proponents have a personality clash
with Bernstein, and it's also obvious that this is harming the standards
process in this WG. *GET OVER IT*, and at least attempt to address his
technical objections. Bernstein: *STOP INSULTING PEOPLE*; you're just
giving them an excuse to ignore those objections.
