Successful propaganda is built upon a base of truth.  When it is woven well 
enough, it can be difficult to state simply how it is, ultimately, a 
lie.  Simon's "history" falls into the camp of nicely written 
propaganda.  We have all batted these issues back and forth, so I'll 
refrain from yet-another point-by-point countering, unless there is some 
clear need demonstrated.

The rogue effort likes to claim it worked under IANA permission.  It didn't 
and would never be able to prove that it did, to satisfy a judge.  We have 
one, relevant legal evaluation pertaining to this realm and I posted the 
most cogent statements from the judge's opinion.

Yes, Craig, Simon's  (Craig, Simon's;  Craig Simon; hmmm) note makes 
"interesting" reading.  But treating it as anything other than one person's 
(self-serving) fictionalization of history would put any serious analytic 
effort at grave risk.
