Speaking as chair, while I'm not in favor of have a standardized set of
intervals (the fights such a document would create would be epic), I am
highly supportive of such a document having informational status.

As a suggestion, there may be two actual documents in such a case: 
- An informational document covering the intervals.
- A short document, potentially on the standards track, covering the
  procedure by which timers can negotiate to such an interval.  This may be
  worth standardizing.  (This is covered by Appendix B.)
