I meant to add: I see nothing in BCP9 that would make the existence of
RFC6997 any easier for production of a P2P Proposed Standard.  I will
ask around to understand if I've missed something about moving
Experimental to standards track.

[the re-read of of BCP9 makes it even more clear that our Applicability
Statements *do* belong on standards track, and not informational. For
those wondering what happened to our documents, see:
