It works for apps, it could work for us, but I think that's not
something we're going to deal with in this thread -- start a new
thread?

Not really:

 - WGLC is two weeks, and IETF LC is two weeks when the I-D was
WGLCed, but for individual submissions the IETF LC is four weeks.
Reviewers have the same amount of time in either case.

 - The security community, through saag, is *clearly* aware of this I-D.

 - There's no WG whose charter this I-D could have fit into.

 - There's no WG whose charter could reasonably have been modified to
fit this I-D.

 - Having a BoF to start a one-document WG would have been a misuse of
resources.

 - The individual submission track exists in part for just this sort of I-D.

 - You yourself are aware of the I-D and, like everyone else, have
four weeks to review.

 - The IESG gets a crack at this I-D as well.

What's the problem?  How has the process been circumvented, in its
letter or spirit?
