My point is that anyone can propose an IETF stream document at any time, about anything. The creation of the registry has nothing to do with that -- the creation of the registry doesn't cause extra work. People who submit documents to working groups or for AD sponsorship do, of course, create extra work. It's up to the working groups and ADs to decide whether that extra work should be taken on. Barry
