Brian,
Thanks for the insight. I checked with IETF
legal council, and the guidance was that RFC8179/5.1.3 would
only come in second here. Given how the draft author is the
IPR author, we need for Kent to come back authoritatively
with an answer according to RFC8179/5.1.1. Or at least i need to
wait for that answer for the shepherd-writeup.
Wrt to your other comments (swapping hat to contributor):
I love to comment on patent writeups publically, but i am too fearfull
one could unexpectedly end up later as witness (if not worse) in some
lawsuit with computers seized and inspected as evidence. So, i'll
restrict myself to commenting in environments with more privacy.
Cheers
Toerless
