For years the way IETF dealt with lack of consensus was to put
up competing proposals and "let the market decide".  It seems
to be the IETF equivalent of a punt. Sitting in my third working
group meeting where this suggestion was made I realized that it
was now probably synonymous with "let's do what microsoft says".

And I wonder how many people would embrace that notion.
