Yes, but it would not really be the IETF.
Note well that I'm not making any judgment of quality on how good an
alternative it would be; I have not carefully considered the issue.
Also note that I believe that a discussion of whether this alternative
is a good idea should probably move off the ietf list fairly quickly.

Possibly; that's not clear to me.
