Personally, I think it's worth splitting. The topic of Section 7 and the
rest of the RFC is very different and it would be nice to be able to
change one without affecting the other. The section also seems (as I
have not worked on this I don't feel qualified to make any other
statement) more experimental and vague than the rest of the document to me.

As a side note, I think that everything that is in 7.2 as an example
should also be explained/defined in 7.1 (referring to section 7.2.5 in
particular).
