I hope the responsible AD for this document will not count me as

position on the document could best be characterized as "trepidatious
semi-neutrality, leaning towards opposition."
Okay, I felt a bit embarrassed about having said this, so I went back and
reviewed the justification for bringing this forth as an IETF document. The
stated reason for publishing the document as an IETF document is that there is
a regulatory requirement in Canada to implement something like this. I think
that's really thin, and I as an IETF participant, hat off, I oppose the
publication of this document.
I think Joe did the right thing in registering the RRtype, and I think Joe
should by all means publish this on his personal web site so that people who
need to implement this because of the weird requirements of various regulatory
bodies can be satisfied in a clean way. However, I think putting this forward
as an IETF consensus document, or as an IETF document at all, does convey the
wrong message.
