if indeed RFC 2606 (a.k.a, BCP 32) said "all domain names in
RFCs MUST use one of the following bases" then a blocking DISCUSS
by an IESG member would be a reasonable thing. RFC 2606 does not
say that and, thus, a blocking DISCUSS is not reasonable
if the IESG had posted a set of rules that said the same thing
and asked for community comment and the comunity consensus supported
the rules then a blocking DISCUSS by an IESG member would be a
reasonable thing. But no such rules were posted and no such comunity
consensus was shown. (Actually, I whoud hope that comunity consensus
woud be against the idea of the IESG doing any such thing since
such things should be left to normal IETF process rather
that to management from the top.)
