the ips working group can decide to do something over UDP but
it should note that the result has to deal with congestion in a TCP-friendly
way - I expect that the WG will find that its not an easy requirement
to meet - I personally think that it would not be a good use of the WGs time
to spend a good chunk of a year trying to get that right
