Julian,
>> RS> there is some fundamental flaw that makes a "fast" implementation impossible
>> What flaw ?
JR> I think the point was that you won't know about a flaw like that until
JR> you have tried to implement it, thus it would be unwise to standardize
JR> it earlier.
(1) Theorem of existance of _fundamental_ flaw is not proved.
(2) You postulate, that _fundamental_ flaw must be, even not naming (entitling) them.
JR> it would be unwise to standardize it earlier.
Agruments are necessary, as usual ! Without them, it's only words.
But argument against are the following:
large manufactorers (e.g. Oracle, etc) refuse implement before standardization.
>> RS> Perhaps one of the key concepts is covered by a patent held by a jerk.
JR> Then the specification would be of less use, because fewer people would
JR> be interested in or capable of implementing it.
(1) Ideas (instead of algorithms) are not capable to be patented !
(2) International patent does not exist
(if you want to patent, you must make this in each country separetely).
From where you have this fear ("perhaps") ?
