I'm not sure what your point is. I was simply refuting the statement that "standards are broken by design" argument of
>>20 by pointing out IETF as an example of a standards body that has nothing to do with "marketing", "government" or "safety".
In IETF a bunch of people (everyone at IETF represents only themselves, not their organizations) get together to agree on a common standard so that stuff interoperates. Wether there's an RFC for this or that protocol is irrelevant.
