The above information is nonsense.

You seem to be objecting to Keith's right to object to the draft
as it is written. So using your logic (As I understand what you
are saying above) - you are also guilty of censorship by not
wanting Keith to object.

I understand you frustration as many of us in the IETF have
been frustrated from time to time. If you want to convince
me and others then please ignore anything you feel is a non-technical
issue. And address the technical issues.

Many in the IETF *are* swayed by technical content.

I am undecided on this issue and I am personally glad to see this
debate. I do find it an important discussion when it remains
technical. 

Questions I have:

Does this solve a problem that is not already solved by another method?
Not that it has to be unique as you point out above, but if you could
compare it against other known solutions (if any) then perhaps its
advantages (that I have not seen yet) could help you cause?
