Marc,

I understood Dave's proposal to be expert-guided design, an engineering
activity.

You appear to have understood Dave's proposal to be a non-engineering
activity.

If you substitute my reading for your own, please re-evaluate your
"cannot be" comment. Both Dave and I are curious why the activity he
proposed (my reading, not yours) cannot be carried out by an IETF WG,
and I agree with his aside that such work is better carried out by a
focused group with the ability to obtain expert IPR guidence.

Cheers,
Eric
