Re: Status of <draft-ietf-6man-default-iids-16.txt> in AUTH48

The RFC Editor clearly has final call.

However, I think this is an inappropriate use of the technical 
acknowledgements section of the document.  The purpose of that section 
is to acknowledge direct contributions to the document, such as 
performing significant review, providing useful pieces of text that do 
not rise to the level of document authorship, and other similar issues.
We do not, for example, acknowledge all of the supporting developments 
and research, all of the open source implementations (or vendor 
implementations) that help us confirm that things work before 
publication, and the myriad other aspects that contribute to making an 
RFC from the IETF.

Yours,
Joel
