This sort of document is probably better as an Independent submission, directly to the RFC Editor.

I think documents like this can be quite valuable. And having IETF comment, such as your note, is a good thing.

But as you note, seeking any sort of IETF consensus about a statement of personal perspective does not make much sense. Absent trying to make it an official IETF perspective, the debate and probable nit-picking, which accompanies an effort to get IETF consensus, actually would likely be counter-producive.
