Why does Apple care what some random RFC says? That RFC, in particular, is pretty silly. A couple guys from TWC might just as productively get together and write a document declaring the sky to be plaid.

Because Apple's current success hinged on support of RFC-literate early-adopters who thought that Apple > (MS, Blackberry).

Eventually, the suits were too embarrassed to pull out their handsets in educated company.

But Apple sans Jobs apparently doesn't get it. This is going to make all the cool kids laugh and point. Again. sigh

Ever had a friend whose folly you just get exhausted defending to your other friends?

Apple's current success "hinges" in no way on the IETF. In absolutely no way.
