If this was a general mechanism for all EAP uses, it would require a different IETF process, consideration of a broad set of requirements from different usage scenarios, etc. As Bernard points out, merely turning this on in other link layers would break them. (We need to work on what the details are for the sufficient tie-in to the link layer is, however. The current document is already tied to 3GPP2 link layer, though based on Bernard's review, in an inadequate manner.) However, I believe that submitting specifications developed outside the IETF as non-standard RFCs is sometimes useful, as long as the situation and status is clearly indicated. Typical cases where such publication can be useful are "Using IETF technology <X> in environment <Y>" documents where it is felt that significant IETF review is warranted (such as in this case), and where the community might benefit from availability of an RFC.
