The difference, to me, is between saying:

- We'd really like to tell people about this.
- We're laying a foundation to do something in this space.

So, how do I think this document will be *used?*

As a starting point. I've recommended some specific thoughts on questions to
draft authors to include in another email. I don't think these are the
"final" questions, nor do I think they need to be included for this initial
version to go to BCP -- so long as we understand this is a goal statement
which will have more information added in the bis and update processes.
Since our knowledge of this space will naturally grow over time, I suspect
this document will change over time, just as id-nits, security requirements,
and other such documents have.

There might be a lot of other "better ways," to go about this -- start a WG,
etc. -- but this is the immediately apparent vehicle for the moment. So
given the choice of doing nothing, "because we don't have a detailed
accounting of everything we'd like to do," or, "because this is political,
rather than technical," and passing this document into BCP status so a
conversation is started, and we think about the right direction from here --
I'd rather pass this document into BCP status so we can think about the
right direction to go from here.
