Agreed.

Most times it would be better if IETF WGs initially create 
an Experimental status RFC, possibly doing so quite rapidly, 
and then later revise that (based on at experience) and 
publish the revision on the IETF standards-track.

Given how many WGs these days in fact seem to start from "let's develop
something and see if we can make it useful", this wouldn't be too bad.
