Moreover, this 'proof' can technically wait until the IETF last call or even until the IESG ballot. I see little point in postponing the closing of the WGLC and advancing the document (of course, the document shepherd will need to carefully write the section about the rough WG consensus).

I'm not sure how the document could advance with clear and sound 
technical objections. For instance... if anything, can anybody claim 
consensus on this point?

There's a difference between us forcing the use of specific technologies 
(.e., a specific routing protocol in your network) and aiming at 
consistency in our specs.


We are a standards organization. If we can't keep our specs consistent, 
and we violate our specs at will, I'm not sure our work will be taken 
seriously.

Thanks,
