I'd actually like the communities input that there is not something
catastrophically wrong to sending the document on it's merry way that
I've missed.

It seems highly likely that others have both implemented parsing of
these IEs and may well do so in the future for IEs which are not
depreciated. The fact that these are vendor specific doesn't preclude
there being interoperability concerns given that they are by their
nature exported. Much of Netflow and IPFIX has at one time been vendor
specific.

I don't think there much point is asking a working group to hold the pen
on this given that existing usage of existing values isn't likely to change.
