There are quite a few responses. All expressed zero interest.

This is a pretty common pattern. Someone comes up with an idea, spends zero

submits it to the IETF. People point out that it's been
discussed before,and they aren't interested,but the submitter stamps their
feet because nobody is LISTENING to them.
