Well, yes, but...
(1) The IESG gets to review all documents that the Independent
Stream intends to publish to verify that the document doesn't
interfere with IETF work. The Independent Stream can, in
principle, publish over IESG objections (perhaps with some notes
about that) but, like Brian, I'd be at least mildly astonished
to see that done in a case like this.
(2) Independent Stream publication wouldn't accomplish the
presumed purpose of creating this draft because, while such
publication might be good for starting a discussion or providing
information to the community, it doesn't get allocations made--
the intent here is pretty clearly to get an allocation.
