You ask a very interesting question. I don't recall having that conversation in the WG (but it might have slipped my mind). I see from the charter that the deliverable was slated for Proposed Standard. The draft has gone through the complete WG process and (I think) has the full support of the WG -- so I don't *think* the WG would object to the information model as a Proposed Standard. I wouldn't object. I don't know if people in IETF or IESG would object. Thanks for asking?
