I did not like what the document was proposing as it could be argued in future that it was intruding into the policy side. You seem to believe that the IETF does not make "policy" for identifiers, but in fact, IANA registries are specifically required to have policies (see RFC 5226, "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs") so that the IANA knows what exactly to do in administration. Now it is true that these policies are generally technical in nature and tend to avoid "public policy" positions, but that is not a hard requirement for either IETF protocols or the associated registries. For example, it is possible for the IETF to define a protocol (e.g. an enhancement to DNS) whereby the protocol itself has some embedded rules for certain identifiers (e.g. the string "curran" shall always return empty set on any query...) Thankfully, the IETF doesn't generally engage in such things, and instead usually constrains itself to technical constraints on the protocols and associated registries; thus the keeping the IETF protocols very popular and enabling the success of the Internet that we've all come to enjoy. It's worth encouraging the IETF to work on predominantly technical issues, and to delegate the public policy issues that come with general purpose registries to bodies which are supported by the affected community, but at the end of the day, that is nothing more than a polite suggestion to the IETF, and may or may not be followed. If the IETF were to make a serious misstep, then it runs the risk of parties going elsewhere to work on their protocol standard needs, and that's likely a reasonable deterrent with a natural counterbalance. /John Disclaimer: my views alone.
