My apologies for bothering other folks...

> it's time to dismiss NHRP

...but this is a technical list. Beyond the basic rudeness of
this statement, this is getting tiresome.  There is an old yet
time honored saying in this business that says "let the market
decide". If the market agrees with you, then NHRP will not be
much of a factor and folks will develop something else and
gravitate to it.

I am not advocating or dismissing NHRP. I encourage others to go
through the mail archives and read some of the technical concerns
raised by Curtis and Grenville in order to gather a different point
of view. And yes, I even encourage folks to read your draft. But if
NHRP really irks you that much, then please continue to direct your
energies to your draft and publish it as an informational RFC. Or,
simply ignore NHRP and sit and watch what the market does.
