Umm, I didn't say that the E2E paper was about the CLNP/TP4 vs TCP/IP 'debate'
(competition would be more accurate, I think). You seem to be conflating my
comments on two entirely separate points.

One was that for _some_ of us, the only 'ISO protocol war' we saw was the
CLNP/TP4 vs TCP/IP competition.

The other was that the E2E paper was not principally intended as firepower in
the TCP/IP vs X.25 debate, but rather was more intended to be exactly what
the passage of time has shown it to be - a contemplation of the underlying
fundamentals of functionality placement, one which would be of lasting value.
