...which is fine, of course, unless this needs Proposed Standard status,
which is what you're currently requesting.  The independent stream cannot
produce standards track documents.  So unless you'd be satisfied with
Informational status, it needs to go through a WG (though not necessarily
this one) or be sponsored by an Area Director; either way, there needs to
be consensus recorded to proceed.  If there are only a couple of people
willing to review it, demonstrating that will be an uphill battle.

I think getting some people to (finally!) post comments in here is probably
the simplest path forward.  I'm not familiar enough with this space to be
able to suggest whom you might ask specifically, however.
