I see this as a fine document, useful as a working draft as we proceed
with the rechartering and moving the protocols from experimental to
standards track.  But I don't see it as ever being published as an
RFC, even as Informational.  It doesn't seem to me that these
experiments and their results need to be preserved forever, but only
used (and revised and refined) as we're doing our work.

As such, I don't see the need to adopt it as a working-group document,
though I certainly have no objection to doing that if consensus is for
it.  I think it can remain an individual submission, and then be left
to expire when it's no longer needed.
