Hi Rob -

You may have an assumption that differs from mine to whit:   "All 
documents published in the IAB stream represent IAB consensus" vs "A 
document in the IAB stream can originate from the IAB as an IAB 
consensus document, or from individuals within the IAB or from others 
that have information that the IAB that believes is important enough to 
bring to the attention of the community but that might not be more 
appropriate for one of the other streams".   My assumption is the 
latter.  The IAB has ... less? different? ... rules with respect to what 
gets published than the IETF stream, the IRTF stream or the ISE stream.  
I assume an IAB consensus on publication, not necessarily a consensus of 
the content of the document.  I also assume that what the IAB finds 
important may differ from what the IESG/IETF/IRTF or ISE might consider 
important - at least at the time of publication.

For example - this could have been the first of two documents from the 
IAB - one supporting the proposition, and one arguing against.  Or even 
three - the third with some sort of synthesis of the two.  In 
otherwords, a discussion of architecture.

Hence the question of provenance.
