A more interesting question is if you can submit somebody else's
public domain work to the IETF. I don't know the answer to that.
Legally, yes; it's public domain. Academic honesty and common courtesy
would demand an acknowledgment.
more than that - the standards process requires an acknowledgment of all
significant contributers so an acknowledgment is required
