Re: Interested in wireless ?

Pascal,

There is a category of standards track documents foreseen in RFC2026 called "applicability statements", described at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2026#section-3.2

I think that is perhaps where your draft could fit. A little bit stronger than Informational and little bit different than Best *Current* Practice.

It's fine to have a descriptive section about why WiND is needed, but that is almost better as an appendix. The main text should be essentially the instructions for a kernel programmer.
