This was the third point of my DISCUSS comment and I believe the rest of the IESG agreed with me on this point.

Draft 4 which went through wgcl and was  submitted to the iesg had an intended status of standards track, at the request of the iesg the reguested status was changed to informational. The document is a standards action and thus must meet the higher standard to pass iesg review regardless of it's intended status... This is entirely consistent with historical precident as far as I can tell.
