Anyway, given that they actually want to get work done under the
auspices of the IETF, I see no justification for turning them
away.
Given that this is a deployed product, I tend to agree.  The work
is going to get done; we may as well help it to get done as well
as possible.
but the reasons given above seem sufficient to put us in the paperclip
standards making business.
Proven technical base, motivated workers and ready market for products 
using a specification.
Those certainly are a lousy basis for forming an IETF working group.

you have an impressive talent for omitting text, twisting people's
words, etc.  you should run for political office.

i also said

i submit that relevance, expertise, non-conflict with other
standards groups, change control, etc. are important criteria.
