That one may be appropriate here. That is, I certainly believe that
2434 means "verify the documentation is adequate" just as John's draft

I certainly would never have ignored a proposal to register trivial
things like IPv6 option codes if it required approval of the use of
the option, rather than documentation of the thing. That is, when
2780 was proposed, I assumed it was using 2434 in the way I interpret
2434, and IESG approval meant a check that the documentation was of
adequate quality for the purpose, and no more than that.
If RFC 2870 had been meant to allow assignment of hop-by-hop options using
"Specification Required", it would have said so.
RFC 2780, of course.
