I agree here, having a seperate rite for the Tridentine mass would further balkanise the church and also further hamper efforts to restore reverence to the Novus Ordo. One thing about traditionalists, who have used the internet to get organised in many cases, is they have lit a fire under the back end of many to improve the present liturgical situation.

While having a seperate rite would have some advantages for traditional Catholics, such as the ability to set up shop whereever they want, more resources to gain more vocations and ordain more and more priests, it would not be good for the overall chruch, and it would derail overall liturgical restoration. The reason why Catholics did not have their right to kneel for communion taken away was because traditional leaning Catholics attending the Novus Ordo wrote many letters to Rome, this very well may not have happened if they were attending Tridentine only parish'.

Yup.

Of course, if kneeling for communion was the locus of objection to the Novus Ordo, then the Tridentine advocates could attend a Mass of their own rite.

Your "liturgical restoration" involves, no doubt, a full return to the Tridentine Rite.

Listen to this carefully, JNB:That is not going to happen! Now, given that reality, we can move forward, and discuss further.
