[arin-ppml] Against 2013-4

So, rather than mute this thread, I'd like to attempt to redirect the
discussion back to the stated subject.

It seems that we need to focus on the set of principles that are missing
from 2050bis and have a clear consensus among the community.

For supporters of 2013-4, I would love to hear which goals you feel are
missing from rfc2050bis (
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-housley-rfc2050bis/?include_text=1).
 I see significant overlap between what's listed there and the original
2013-4 text.  If we could focus more narrowly on what is actually missing
from there, I think we could usefully constrain the debate and get to
consensus more easily.

For opponents of the current 2013-4 text, I would love to hear whether
there are any elements of 2013-4 (or the original RFC 2050) that are
missing from rfc2050bis and would be good to document.
