Just a quick note that this document is being advanced for publication as an
Independent Stream [1] RFC. That means it is not getting IETF review or
consensus and will not be an IETF RFC or any kind of standard. 

It is important to recognise that not all RFCs are IETF RFCs. Publication on
the Independent Stream is a way to produce RFCs that describe proprietary
protocols, provide commentary on IETF work, or offer contrary opinions.
While the Independent Stream RFCs are held to the same editorial standards
as other RFCs, their technical content is not subject to the same level of
scrutiny.

Reviews of drafts on the Independent Stream are always welcome. You can send
comments and thoughts direct to the authors or to me as Independent
Submissions Editor via rfc-ise at rfc-editor.org
<mailto:rfc-ise at rfc-editor.org> .

Thanks,

Adrian
