a reasonable goal.

nothing has been offered to indicate that this will do that.

there is a tendency in the IETF to confuse data with information.

merely doing something differently doesn't mean that it teaches anything useful.

this will produce some data -- and it's not entirely clear even what that will 
be -- but no indication of what analyses can be done with it to tell us anything 
useful.
