"Outlawing powerpoint and viewgraphs"???

What's all of this talk about "outlawing"? The IETF is not a police state. Why not rather empower the WG chair(s) to take whatever steps, within the context of their WG, to enhance and advance the needs of the WG? If the chair wants to ban X within the content of his/her/their WG for that meeting, then so be it. But to outlaw entire classes of X within the IETF... Let's just not go there.
