My sincere apologies all around for giving the authors of this fine  
document cause to feel defensive.

It was never my intention to arouse any hostility.  I simply thought  
it was possible that the authors were very smart and busy people who,  
in a moment of completely understandable oversight, let slip some  
text that casual, less technically savvy readers might easily  
misinterpret.  I've had personal experience recently with exactly the  
sort of mistaken impression, which I mentioned in my first message,  
that I was concerned about.  That experience led me to take the very  
bold step of asking the authors to consider an editorial change to  
prevent what I thought were misunderstandings about the IETF consensus.

I now see that the authors have not made any oversight at all.  They  
have very deliberately chosen to express the consensus opinion of the  
IETF in this Informational RFC, and it was a mistake for me to think  
it was possible that anything else might be happening.

Again, my apologies all around.  I withdraw my objections.
