When the RFC's are broken, then what do you do?
If negotiations fail, you revolt and overthrow the corrupt governing body. If applicable, add overseas occupation forces :)
RFC's are to be followed if one can operate one's network under those constraints. Often times, RFC's don't take into account real world considerations.
Unfortunately putting the non-rfc-compliant out of business would require distributing clue to the buyers, which has been tried and usually fails.
For instance: The "rule" that there should be only one root server network does not provide a solution to the problem of a corrupt monopoly gaining control over that one root server network (as is the case now).
You sure have filed drafts how this should be corrected, specially those which do not specify two roots, yours and theirs? Pete
