We have a "consensus" flag in the datatracker, which triggers a boilerplate change. It's always set to "yes" for Standards Track or BCP, but for Informational and Experimental it can be set either way. If it's set to "no", the boilerplate says that the document does not have IETF consensus. It's possible that when we're done with this document it could settle into that. It's also possible that we might convince the regext working group to stop processing this document and suggest to the authors to go to the ISE. I don't think we're there yet, and at the moment the working group has consensus to publish it as a working group product Barry
