Scott -

Didn't RFC 5657 address your point 2?

The current proposal no longer requires this report during advancement, but it does not disallow it.
I hope it's obvious that I believe these reports are valuable, but I am willing to accept the proposed
structure, with the hope and expectation that  communities that are serious about producing and 
refining protocols will be producing these reports anyhow.
