As I see it, the issue is only one of where to have the debate - at
the RFC publication level or on IETF mailing lists.

Industry people love to make such claims.  They're just marketing BS.  
The Internet isn't in final form yet and I don't expect it to stabilize 
for at least another decade.  There's still lots of time for people to 
correct brain damage.

IETF's job is to promote technical sanity, not to support unsound vendor 
practices.
