Yes, the IETF has jurisdiction over its wgs, but not over much of
anything else. People ignore IETF wisdom all the time. That's why the
IETF is under the obligation to come up with solutions that are so good
people really want them, rather than adopt them because they're told to.

Without going back and reading everything, I think it's safe to say it
would be impossible to include all the comments everyone made over the
life time of this wg into the requirements. So if you could state in
which way you'd want the requirements to change, based on the current
situation, that would be good.
