Once again, I think you have mistaken me with someone else. Besides, press releases ARE a valid method of shaping public opinion and getting users to test your system. Perhaps if draft-postel had never been pulled out of legitimate channels none of this would have happened.

This is entirely true. The formation of eDNS was a direct result of the final IAHC proposal, a proposal that was admittedly outside of the traditional IETF process. It was also a proposal that effectively confiscated someone else property. I know that I'll be flamed because I said someone elses "property!" In actuallity, it was something that people invested time, money and developed a brand name in. More importantly, the IAHC proposal was counter to a long standing Internet tradition to *not* break existing working code.
