Fundamentally, given the amount of work needed on this document, it's 
not clear to me that taking it as a basis for the WG work is the 
least-effort option; we should as a minimum consider alternatives - e.g. 
starting from scratch, or using the MEF modules as a basis (I believe 
MEF have recently liaised their in-progress work to IETF).

I also really would like to hear from the authors - their document may 
be useful in its own right (just not aligned with the WG charter), so it 
may be that they want to proceed with it in that direction, as an 
individual draft.  Of course that doesn't stop the WG "forking" it, but 
one might imagine the authors would be less inclined to participate in 
the WG in that case.
