The IETF has long accepted that saying "we have customers who want this" as a
metric into its decisions. If Foo.Com says they have customers for RFC X, then
the IETF community believes it is more likely that Foo.Com will implement RFC
X. Market acceptance is important to what the IETF considers success.
The IETF has lawyers who are familiar with how the IETF works, and that legal
counsel finds our processes acceptable level of risk.
Please don't quote other lawyers to us.
