Spec required, so it's written down somewhere what it means?
An I-D is sufficient; you don't have to go through RFC
publication.  Or will these things be "intuitively obvious" ?

Rich,

As I have always understood it, "spec required" means a
published, stable, readily-accessible, etc., specification.
Not necessarily an RFC but, until the definition of an I-D is
changed to eliminate all of the "don't reference except as 'work
in progress'" and "expires in six months" stuff, it would be
unusual (and objectionable) for posting a spec as an I-D to
qualify.
