I would be concerned if outside groups spent time arguing "foo" is  
bad, or if they advocated other positions to the same issue.  But I  
tend to feel quite uncomfortable with litmus tests based on  
inactivity of other groups/people.  My personal view is that  
advocates of that line of reasoning place a bigger burden on  
themselves in providing specific in-depth arguments.

i appreciate work that is trivial because its generally simple, easy  
to accomplish, and leads to fewer interoperability issues.  as for  
ISPs, its fascinating the disparity of how quiet and talkative they  
are depending on what side of the NDA you are on :-)
