I believe the IESG concluded that, although the document itself is 
Informational, it is moving two RFCs to Historic status, which is a Standards 
Action, and that we would use whatever procedures are appropriate to a 
Standards Action to act on the document. This was the third point of my 
DISCUSS comment and I believe the rest of the IESG agreed with me on this 
point.

Draft 4 which went through wgcl and was  submitted to the iesg had an intended 
status of standards track, at the request of the iesg the reguested status was 
changed to informational. The document is a standards action and thus must meet 
the higher standard to pass iesg review regardless of it's intended status... 
This is entirely consistent with historical precident as far as I can tell.
