Well, many here would like RFC 1591 basically followed and would like
the CORE/IAHC etc to just stay out of it.  So, if they just stayed out
of it then they would have to....oh wait, I guess they WOULDN'T HAVE TO
DO ANYTHING, would they.  You don't have to have a complicated policy if
you STAY OUT OF IT.  You don't have to worry about how courts will
handle anything in different countries if you STAY OUT OF IT.

So, Carl, I think you are sidestepping the issue here.  If you stay out
of it you don't need to worry about all of this.  You see in the
alternative where you stay out of it, you don't care about how it
works.  As your own document indicates, you just do what the court tells
you.
