Well, it hasn't "uncovered" this - Keith was a vocal participant of NSRG
and critic of the document, supplying nearly 1,000 lines of comments and
wanting to write his own dissenting version, etc. I would rather not
reopen that particular can of worms.
The document was first sent to the RFC editor over a year ago. All it's
ever aspired to be was a snapshot of *some* of the perspectives the RG
explored. It doesn't do a great job at that, but it's never going to;
Eliot came on board late as a way to get it out the door, and there are
no more worker bees in the hive to do any significant additional work.
I really want to close down NSRG, but am reluctant to do so with nothing
at all to show for the effort; I'll take an imperfect document over that.
You can ask Steve for his two cents - he was one of the original RG chairs.
