Russ, while I think this is worthwhile, I will note, as others
have, that a call for comments is different from a call for
consensus. The IAB has issued calls for comments, sometimes as
a notice of intent to publish, on many or all of its documents
for some time, but still publishes them as IAB documents, not
IETF ones. Unless IESG is going to start issuing consensus
calls, or rejecting the AD sponsorship and leaving the document
to the author and RFC Editor unless a clear IETF consensus
emerges, I don't think these calls change the key issue.
