Sure, but you did say "only the authors are interested" which to me seems to imply a comparison of numbers. Sometimes everybody who's interested in an idea is an author; that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. There have been cases when very good ideas have been squashed because the working group chair believed that a document needed more than just the authors to support it. So over the years I guess I will admit to having developed a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to this argument—sorry about that! My point here is that that's not the reason to reject the document. The reason in this case is that there already exist better ways to solve the problem, and the proposal would clearly make TLS 1.3 worse, even though there is disagreement about how much worse it would make it.
