I am very happy that the l2ra draft was undertaken, it is very useful
to have these things described and examined, but most importantly
written down.

I'd be equally pleased if an "L2RA Protocol" standards-track document
were started, but due to my nascient cynicism as to the rate at which
good ideas become RFC's around here, I'd personally suggest we take
the current draft to RFC and start a second piece of work for the
standard protocol.
