Ah - I missed, that, thanks for pointing it out. 

I'm uncomfortable leaving change control for a key interoperability mechanism in the search market in the hands of one competitor, yet blessing it as part of the IETF stream. I think the IETF as a whole should be uncomfortable with that too, given current competition enforcement trends.

As such, I believe this draft should either a) drop the "no derivatives" clause (preferred), or b) seek publication on a different stream.

Cheers,
