Adam,

Generally in the IETF we act as individuals making technical arguments, not as representatives of companies that are negotiating product roadmaps.

So, saying "we don't want to do \-decoding" isn't helpful. Can you please tell give us some technical reasoning for people to consider?

Also, if you do say "we" please be very clear about its scope -- it's not clear if you're speaking informally about you and some friends, or you're formally representing Google, or the Chrome browser team, or...  

Thanks,
