I understand.

I don't think is correct to hint at publishing IETF stream documents
without consensus -- even if that is not the intent.  Perhaps the
bullet could be updated to something like this:

   - publish documents describing existing vendor extensions that are
     in common usage...


Does that work?

Thanks!
