As a current member of the IESG, I think I can say that has changed at  
least a little bit. There are place where the IETF standardizing and  
API, or abstract level of an API, makes sense - and places where it  
does not. I imagine the choice to do an API or not would be handled on  
a case by case basis. I don't have any simple hard and fast advice to  
offer other than talk to the Sec ADs.
