Indeed, that was exactly Larry's concern, too. He wanted to be able to
publish a specification but there was no venue for doing that.
It's hard for me to believe that neither the IESG nor the RFC Editor
was willing to publish a spec for an LMTP extension. Granted, a
registry might be even better, but if other registries are any
indication, we'll probably still publish specifications as RFCs
and just put pointers to the RFCs in the registry. I think it's a
stretch to say "there was no venue".
I assume this refers to draft-murchison-lmtp-ignorequota-01.txt. If so, I see
no problem with getting it published as an RFC. All you need to do is submit it
to the RFC Editor for publication as informational.
