There's a couple of e-mails from earlier today that I haven't yet considered, but other than that, I've read and considered all the e-mails to this list, and provided detailed reasons for rejecting any proposals I've not adopted. If I missed one, please let me know.
Hi Ian,

actually in the IETF process one of the main reason to accept or reject a proposal/issue/"request to change something" is based on *"rough consensus"* reached among people involved in the mailing list discussion , especially when the reason for accepting or rejecting are based more on philosophical then technical issues.

The decision to adopt or not a proposal should come from the consensus and not from the decision of a single person. I am sorry to notice, following the ml discussion, that a lot of the proposals have been discarded for philosophical reasons
even if the majority of the people in the ml were in favour.
I am not saying that you should adopt them straight, but only that you should keep open the discussion on controversial issues and seek a sort of consensus, among people involved in the discussion, on how to solve them
