Harald,
The trouble is - know it or not - this "language choice"
is the result of a lot of wrangling. Your comment is a late
comer to the "party" as we have been round and round on this
as well as other issues relating to this document. What you
see now is the current negotiated position, and it would be
very nice if we did not have yet another round of negotiations
because someone else is not exactly happy with what we have...
sure. When you say "....are allocated through the IETF Consensus Process",
I'm just not sure if you are referring to this from 2434:
IETF Consensus - New values are assigned through the IETF
consensus process. Specifically, new assignments are made via
RFCs approved by the IESG. Typically, the IESG will seek
input on prospective assignments from appropriate persons
(e.g., a relevant Working Group if one exists).
It's been a troublesome choice in the past (at the moment, the IESG
position is, I believe, that at least a Last Call is needed for such an
assignment, but not necessarily an approved internet-draft, although that
is preferred).
I'm happy to have PWE3 suggest what it wants to suggest - my worry is
chiefly that the IETF has a shared understanding of what PWE3 is suggesting.
Wordsmithing is hard.
Harald
