That is CERTAINLY NOT an accurate representation of what I've said here
or of my own perspective. I do NOT treat PS as an end rather than a
beginning.
I do think that we need more experience in this space before we start
standardising
anything.
I also agree with Mark Allman's comment (on another IETF mailing list)
about how it is often better to start with something at Experimental,
and move the spec to PS later on.
It does NOT further the discussion to mis-represent/mis-word/distort
what another person says. It would be simpler and better to disagree
with
ideas on whatever basis -- but without putting words into another
person's mouth
(as Scott has unfortunately done above).
