Adrian - I have to say I had an entirely different experience than you apparently did with the IETF discussion of this document. Without exhaustively reviewing the various threads, my recollection is that the *content* of the document was mostly considered useful, while there was significant disagreement with the *process* of publishing that content as a BCP or (later) Informational RFC. I specifically don't recall any attempt to ascribe anything but good intentions to the authors and I do recall many descriptions of the content of the document like "very useful material" (my own words).
I am (or was) also supportive of its publication as an Informational RFC. Though I have never had or functioned as a WG secretary, I know some co-chairs find it useful if not necessary to smooth operation of their working groups. That being the case, RFC2418 clearly says too little about this as-is.
I thus expressed support for the work and, relative to the comments of others, I thought my points were quite resolvable.
