I'd be supportive of adoption. I think the draft could
do with a clearer statement to the effect that this one
will likely be "held" in the WG until there's rough
consensus that it's timely to make it an RFC, but
otherwise it seems good enough to adopt.

I'd guess this probably ought be a BCP too though, but
don't care that much.

I don't know if there'll need to be more exceptions
carved out for IANA registries or not, but that is
probably better debated after adoption.

Cheers,
S.
