Part of the problem here, I think, is that it's not clear
what's under discussion - the general problem or this
specific draft.  I tend to think that discussions of the
general problem will probably be unproductive and
polarizing, and that if there is a way forward on this
it's to have credible and specific technical proposals.
Remember that in terms of process we don't need to have
unanimity on a decision, but all serious technical
objections need to be addressed and resolved.  So,
if someone has a draft that can eventually clear that
bar, proponents of allowing third parties to decrypt
TLS sessions have a way forward.  (Unfortunately I
don't think this draft can make it through).  At any
rate I would regret (a lot) seeing discussion meander
on over to the broader should-we-or-shouldn't-we question.
