Cooperation (that feel-good sense from the dawn of the internet)
has failed completely.

There is no point to say "Oh there are problems with that 
implementation so we can't do it".   Every implementation has
problems.  

If you have a superior suggestion, please offer it. 

I am sincerely keen to improve my proposal with constructive
suggestions.  Please send to the list.  I am not willing to
accept counsels of despair without constructive alternatives.
Something has to be done.  My proposal will solve the problem.
If you have a better one, please tell us.
