Hi Cyrus,

Someone has to want to use the output that is being discussed.  If we
were to hold a BoF on this we would ask the following questions:

1.  Is this important to do?
2.  Is it correct for the IETF to do it?
3.  Is there a draft author?
4.  Are there reviewers?

and I'll add:

5.  If this was done, who would implement?

Really I'd like to hear the answer to 5 first.

And then we have to return to whether or not this is appropriate given LoST.
