Actually, I believe such messages are useful.  They occur infrequently,
in short storms at least a year apart, and they provide valuable input
from the community.  The RFC Editor has always scanned them carefully,
looking for (a) a Better (and feasible) Idea, and (b) evidence that
there is still a rough consensus in the community that the advantages
of plain ASCII outweigh its obvious limitations.  [Of course, when the
IAOC outsources the RFC Editor to India in 2009, I don't know what
effect future such messages will have.]

It seems worthwhile to contemplate our editorial navels once in awhile,
and does not cost much in the overall message flow.  Now, if we could cut
down on endless IETF process discussions...
