Brian,
So, this implementation report registry would be analogous to the
current errata registry> E.g., the RFC search engine would note
the existence of implementation reports for a particular RFC, just
as it now notes the existence of errata?
That makes a lot of sense to me. I don't see why we'd need the
overhead of making those reports into RFCs, and we'd have to ensure
that the IETF wasn't making any assertions that could carry
liability. (And I agree with the idea of reviving Larry Masinter's
draft.)
