NO.

Stick to a single model.  Add models as you get experience with the
problems associated with a particular model.

NO.

I agree completely with Dave Crocker.  The criteria are completely
subjective and open to multiple interpretations.  As we have seen, there
are those in every group such as this who are willing to deliberately
misinterpret even the most carefully worded document if it means that
they can either cause trouble or find a loophole for their favorite
scam.

NO.

I agree with Karl Auerbach.  This is a technical matter best left to the
IETF.
