Facts are good.  Please let's DO pay attention to them.

1.  10 years of operational history is quite a bit of "fact"

2.  The reference to NSF suggests a pretty thoroughly deficient model of 
how things happened, back then, and by whom.  IANA, its authority, and its 
funding pre-date major NSF involvement in the Internet.
