With respect, I think that is an unrealistic expectation, at least for
the normal interpretation of "everyone" and "understands".  As nearly
as I can tell, a significant number of participants in this WG have a
fairly shaky understanding of how the underlying systems work.  I
don't think we ought to expect everyone on the Internet to understand
what happens with data they put on the Internet.

Instead, I think we should do what the WG charter says, which is to
work out the purposes and figure out what is needed.  It seems to me
we have done that for the thin data.

Best regards,

A
