The down side however with a "wiki" being the official place is that any idiot can go into the wiki and wreak havoc, and there are few checks and balances in place: yes, 'wiki' etiquette and honorable and gentlemanly (and womanly) behavior should apply, but a recent attack on some recent entries on the W3C wiki this week serve to highlight the problem with this method. I understand (and am sympathetic to) Ian's frustration with his attempt to work within the IANA registry, but leaving things completely up to a wiki seems to me too far a swing in the opposite direction. Is there a middle ground somewhere? My $0.02 JF
