it's a), because of the timing issues involved with working on these two 
documents in W3C- and IETF-land.

it could be either way, i don't think we have a strong opinion about 
that. it seems to me that there are different opinions when to use what, 
but if standards track is a better fit, that's fine with us.

thanks for pointing that out. i guess if we are not making progress with 
the draft, then that would be a way to go for us. for now, maybe there 
is enough interest to move forward with the current approach.

that would be a template according to RFC 3864? good point, i will add 
that to 
https://github.com/dret/I-D/blob/master/accept-post/draft-wilde-accept-post-03.xml

thanks and cheers,
