To clarify my position here: I don't think the IETF should spend
significant resources
on documenting non-IETF protocols, hence we shouldn't publish them as RFCs.

Given that we already offer a service for publishing draft specifications
(i.e., IDs)
and that we maintain that for our own purposes, and the marginal cost of
others
using that service is near zero, I don't see a problem with them using it
that way.
