This is an interesting IPR disclosure.

The disclosure relates to "NA" patents and "None" unpublished pending 
patent applications.

As far as I can tell, it's an IPR disclosure that does not disclose any 
IPR - not even if any IPR exists.

Is there a way to mark such disclosures as either "useless" or "not in 
conformance with IETF IPR rules"?
