I think if the IESG chooses not to publish draft-housley-tls-authz

case, the authors should not be asked to wait on a WG effort as they
have done well, I think, to try to publish this through the IETF. It
would be disingenuous for us to now delay independent publication of
this I-D via the RFC Editor.
This avenue is specifically precluded by RFC 5246: draft-housley-tls-
authz
contains new ExtensionType code points, and they can only be
assigned by IETF Consensus:
- TLS ExtensionType Registry: Future values are allocated via IETF
Consensus [RFC2434]. IANA has updated this registry to include
the signature_algorithms extension and its corresponding value
(see Section 7.4.1.4).
Obviously, the authors can publish a document without code point
assignments, but it's hard to see what the value of that is.
The IETF can hold a consensus call on the assignment of code points
(certainly this question has not been answered by any previous call).
I would hope folks would place a lessor hurdle upon assignment of code
points then they do for IETF RFC publication.
