I have a suggestion:  the pcapng work proposal goes forward as *two drafts*:

1. a draft intended as an Independent Submission RFC to describe pcapng/2010 *as-is*.

2. a proposal for a WG draft, to collect all the new/good ideas while (probably) maintaining backward compatibility with pcapng/2010 and the utilities that read/write it.

The WG helps prepare *both* drafts, but when 1. is deemed complete and accurate it heads off to the Independent Stream.

I have zero skin in this game, except that I capture packets whenever I need to...
