I am sure of very few things, but security and identity do seem to me to be
strictly linked to the architecture of an inter-networking system. I
imagine some people may argue that these are matters for end-points, which
(for some) are not part of the architecture. But I'd love to hear your
views on the matter.

What's the use of a standards-making body if nobody uses those standards?

And, to make the parallel between the IETF and public policy making bodies
that some people have proposed (not sure you are actually proposing it)
would a public authority be judged on the beauty, elegance, etc of the
legislation it produces or on the fact that such legislation is actually
used/respected and it achieves the objectives it is supposed to achieve?

Best,

Andrea
