	Indeed.  Now, perhaps, your lengthy quoting of the standards
document seems to you to provide patently obvious indication that BCPs
pertain to administration and operation of the running Internet.  It
doesn't.

	To the extent that you feel otherwise, please quote that text
specifically.  To the extent that you think that "standardize practices and
the results of community deliberations" is that meaningful statement, you
need to try harder, since such language has always been used and it has
never covered what you now want to claim.

	In any even, the IETF has shown no interest in covering this topic.
To the extent you think otherwise, you need to document the claim.

	Vince, nice to see you keep this on a high level of reasoned debate.

	Thank you for playing.
