This blog post is soliciting feedback on the general idea before I go and do the work of submitting a formal RFC. For all I know, someone could have shot it down. Just think of this as step 1 toward the development of an RFC.

Publishing an RFC is not that straightforward because of the formatting requirements. In any case, whether you go on a blog or publish a draft RFC, you WILL get shot down a lot. Part of the territory.

If I were you I would contact some people who have done RFCs before and ask their advice. Contact the Applications Area directors at the IETF and ask for advice. Barry Leiba <[e-mail]> Pete Resnick <[e-mail]> If they think that this work belongs in a new WG then they can help you get it set up.

Thank you, I will do that!

So what you're saying is, this blog post is a... puts shades on request for comments?

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

(please don't hurt me)

Sounds great! Let me know if you need any help with that process.

Will do. Is this thread a good place to get back to you guys if/when a WG is set up? Would likely be after the US holidays…
