1. You are entitled to your opinion.

2. The apparent IETF rough consensus differs from your opinion, markedly.

3. Why you believe the technology is unimplementable is a matter of some 
curiosity.

4, The design principles are very far from half-baked.  In fact they are 
very well established, with extensive practical history that demonstrates 
their real, high utility.

5. Calling something from the IETF "proprietary" suggests that you also 
have a definition of proprietary that is at odds with standard industry 
nomenclature.
