There was already a half-way animated discussion whether we should carry VxLAN 
natively ;-)

Just saying …

And IMO IETF review would work …

It is a bit unusual, but I don't see a process problem.

If our documents get converted to Standards Track, this won't be a problem.  
But if they stay Experimental for an extended period of time, an issue could 
arise the next time we need to allocate a codepoint.   ("Since you have no 
Standards Track documents, we can't allow you to register any codepoints in 
registries with "Standards Action" policy.)  So we might want a registration 
policy that will allow codepoint allocations to be done in Experimental track 
documents that are accepted by the WG.  Maybe we should change the registration 
policy to "IETF Review".  That seems to be almost the same as Standard Action, 
but does not require Standards Track documents.  And it is still eligible for 
Early Allocation.

True enough.  That could work as well.  I don't see near-term updates to the 
Next Protocol registry as very likely, but I'd be fine with this approach.

Alia
