Why One Standard IGP? (was "Intra-AS Routing Standards")

[John Lekashman <lekash at orville.nas.nasa.gov>]

	Choosing a standard which allows vendors to choose from a list of
   standard IGPs will only perpetuate situations like the above.  Routers still
   won't interoperate unless their vendors have made compatible choices.  That
   doesn't sound much different from not having a standard.

	WE NEED AT LEAST ONE GOOD MANDATORY IGP!  WE NEEDED IT LONG AGO!  THE
   IAB SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER CHOOSING ONE NEXT WEEK!

I second Phil's comment, yet again.  Please note that 'at least' is
a good word choice.  No serious problem with a list, (although it will make
vendors lives more difficult) but gotta have it be mandatory.
