I think there are certainly strong arguments for permitting the IETF to
incorporate derived works into future standards, but I'm not that
convinced by the need to notify the IETF - the vast majority of
derivations are unlikely to be interesting, and the effort required to
process notifications may be large. Regardless, I'd view this situation
as a significant improvement over the current one.
