It has been bad enough that existing vendors have not seen fit to fix
such simple things as using the correct IP broadcast address.
What I see as troubling is that entirely new products are perpetuating
the problem.  Perhaps the emerging ISO vendors will learn from our mistake
and control products that claim to implement the protocols but have taken
creative interpretations.

Perhaps it is time for the internet group to list vendors that implement
the protocols correctly and also publish a list of those that do not.
