The status quo is the following: the IP-over-OCB does not specify the 
len of  IID.  It refers to "other documents".

If we go to 6man is to get 6man consensus and quickly.  Otherwise we 
dont go there.

If you, or the AD think we could not get consensus there, then you, or 
the AD, should not direct us there.

We could stay here and write IID len is 118.  At that point it should be 
6man who should come here and see whether 6man gets consensus here.
