FWIW, I believe it is very useful, and would like to see it progressed.

Yeo!

Not sure. But what didn't make into RFC8633 should probably be 
progressed stand-alone. -- for instance, there are implementations (e.g. 
openbsd's) that have been doing data minimization for a while.

I guess some things were probably not picked up because they were a 
change to the protocol spec, rather than a implementations making use of 
the leeway they had?

Thanks,
