The Independent RFC Stream would seem more appropriate.
Well, if you run a document through the RFC Stream publication
process, it doesn't get the same level/type of review as does running
it through the IETF. At least in theory.
If it were running through a WG and the WG wanted to publish it, I'd be
much more likely to believe that it was getting a better level/type of
review than running it through the ISE. But just getting a Last Call as
an AD-sponsored document? I have my doubts.
And though Lars is right that we've been darn inconsistent about it,
2026 does say that we're not supposed to be doing that:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2026#section-4.2.3
The ISE can always send a message to the IETF list saying, "I'd like the
IETF to have a look at this document and send comments." I think it is
almost identically as effective as sending out an IETF Last Call for an
AD-sponsored Informational document.
I can imagine times where an AD-sponsored Informational document is
useful, but I'm guessing there are far less than the number of times we
do it.
