The functionality provided by draft-boucadair-mmusic-altc is useful.  I prefer that this draft progress to be an RFC.  It should progress as standard track; however publishing as Informational is adequate (especially if can reserve the "altc" option-tag) if no IETF working group is willing to work on the draft.

If the option-tag issue causes concern, it currently appears to provide little value other than a hint.  Thus, it could be removed or uselessly communicated by other means (such as defining a "ns-supported" header to mean the same thing as "supported" when non standard track).

Thanks,
Brett
