Well, if the applicability statement is needed for making some forward
progress of the draft, then we need to do it. 

Is there any particular format which we are looking at? Lars's email, if
I remember correctly, also acknowledged the fact that not too many RFC's
in the past have had these sort of applicability statements in place. So
wondering any examples/ where to place one such ie., should it be a
separate section like "Security considerations" ?
