Putting on my trustee hat, I don't think this can be an IETF document 
without IETF change control.  RFC 5378 says

       The right to produce
    derivative works, in addition to translations, is required for all
    IETF Standards Track documents and for most IETF non-Standards Track
    documents.  There are two exceptions to this requirement: documents
    describing proprietary technologies and documents that are
    republications of the work of other standards organizations.

If it's a proprietary technology, Mark is right.  If it's not, we need
change control.

Another possibility would be to move it to the Independent stream if Eliot agrees.
