It's minor in terms of impact on users and current web content.
But less so perhaps as setting the default we want to use for
other cases in future as those arise. And it impacts on tooling
as well (e.g. the URLs in the boilerplate produced by xml2rfc,
and in the tracker) and it impacts on the secretariat in minor
ways (URLs embedded in mails they send out).

The above and the fact that we do have a set of IETF folks
who seemingly don't like any of this are I think reason enough
for the iesg to solicit comment before just adopting something
like this, or just putting it in place without that.

Personally, I do wish we didn't have to have essentially
the same points discussed over and over, but it seems we
do.
