Third, your second paragraph above is really out of line. So let's
back away a bit and look at the picture we're painting.
I looked at the Last Call comments and I found that the discussion
has been between Cullen Jennings and Ted Lemon. The initial message
was addressed to OPS ADs. It is IETF practice to watch the fireworks
in such cases. Joe Abley commented about the DNSSEC validation
issue. There was a long thread recently about that on some IETF mailing list.
The discussion then got down to process and there was a mention of
the working group charter. There was a comment about IETF
Consensus. There was then a question which was similar to a question
on a different thread which was a little controversial.
This is the usual IETF recipe for discussions taking the wrong
turn. I'll step back a little. The first version of this draft was
posted in June 2007. The intended status of that draft was
Informational. The intended status was change to Standards Track in
December 2012. It was changed to BCP in June 2013.
The picture being painted is that cross-area review is lacking.
