Once again, I don't support the conflation of vendors and SDOs.  We do want
non-IETF SDOs to use the VSA mechanism, primarily to conserve the scarce
pool of IANA-assigned code points.  However, I'm convinced that sending the
message that what another standards organization does is of no more
importance or consequence than the activity of a single vendor is a mistake.
