You will probably find a large number of people are not going to read
a proposal that is encumbered by patent claims in a forum that does 
not have an RF or RAND IP policy in place.

I don't see a need for an encumbered scheme in this space. I think
that there is a very good solution on the table that is subject to 
acceptable (i.e. free) licensing terms.
