So my use of "publish" was short-hand "publish RFCs", but I left "RFCs" out because part of the point of this thread was to find a way to "publish" something more "stable" than Internet-Drafts with less process than RFC publication requires. I used "publish", then, as short-hand for "more stable than an I-D, less heavy-duty than an RFC" since we don't have a name for what that thing would be. Nico --
