This is an interesting conclusion, since this "Informational" and "Independent Stream" document is identified in RFC 2026 as _the_ authority on the status of various documents wrt the standards track. That interesting conclusion would transition to being fairly humorous if the IESG, pursuant to its interpretation of RFC 3932, were to ask (or insist) that the RFC Editor include a statement, either inline or by reference, that asserted that the IETF had not reviewed the document and disclaimed any knowledge for its fitness for any purpose. In deference to a recent note received off list, I will not explain on-list where this reasoning takes us, nor suggest what needs to be done about it. I will not...
