I'm uncomfortable leaving change control for a key interoperability
mechanism in the search market in the hands of one competitor, yet blessing
it as part of the IETF stream. I think the IETF as a whole should be
uncomfortable with that too, given current competition enforcement trends.
Putting on my trustee hat, I don't think this can be an IETF document
without IETF change control. RFC 5378 says
The right to produce
derivative works, in addition to translations, is required for all
IETF Standards Track documents and for most IETF non-Standards Track
documents. There are two exceptions to this requirement: documents
describing proprietary technologies and documents that are
republications of the work of other standards organizations.
If it's a proprietary technology, Mark is right. If it's not, we need
change control.
Another possibility would be to move it to the Independent stream if Eliot agrees.
