A short note on:
I am rather surprised that it is proposed to assign a "vendor-specific"
application identifier when the primary usage is not specific to a vendor;
an ITU-T Recommendation is not a vendor. RFC3588 says
"Vendor-Specific Application Identifiers, are for Private Use." This is
not for private use. Why isn't this a standards track application identifier?

This is common practise in this space to use the so-called vendor-specific space for SDOs. The same approach is applied in RADIUS as well. When you look at the enterprise numbers http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers then you will notice that there are a couple of SDOs in there:
24757: WiMAX Forum

5535: 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2)

10415: 3GPP


We use this approach already for many years in Diameter.

Ciao
