2. Independent submission informational RFC

Today, the IESG asks the RFC Editor to hold the rejected alternative until the standards-track document is in the RFC Editor queue, and the informational document will be published with a note indicating that a standards-track alternative is available in RFC xxxx. That is the point of the response you are questioning.

Having jumped through some very slow hoops several years ago to get some IANA assignments in a 'Specification Required' registry, I worry about the substantive effects of delaying publication for this (or any) reason, when delaying publication might cause codepoint assignments to also be delayed. That said, the registration policy for that particular registry has since changed, and I'm not sure what other registries might be affected. (RFC4020 provides for early allocation in Standards Action registries, but not Specification Required registries.)

I'm content to see this document be published as-is, but I'd welcome thoughts on how to avoid blocking IANA assignments as a side effect of publication delay.

I thought the solution in the DLV case was useful, albeit not terribly so - publish a "specification" that didn't really specify anything, but got the codepoint, and then follow up with the real specification as an ind-sub when that was appropriate.

Don't know if this particular delay mechanism was involved there, though.
