This is entirely true.  The formation of eDNS was a direct
result of the final IAHC proposal, a proposal that was admittedly
outside of the traditional IETF process.  It was also a proposal 
that effectively confiscated someone else property.  

I know that I'll be flamed because I said someone elses "property!"
In actuallity, it was something that people invested time, money
and developed a brand name in.  More importantly, the IAHC proposal
was counter to a long standing Internet tradition to *not* break 
existing working code.
