This sort of document is probably better as an Independent submission,
directly to the RFC Editor.
I think documents like this can be quite valuable. And having IETF
comment, such as your note, is a good thing.
But as you note, seeking any sort of IETF consensus about a statement of
personal perspective does not make much sense. Absent trying to make it
an official IETF perspective, the debate and probable nit-picking, which
accompanies an effort to get IETF consensus, actually would likely be
counter-producive.
