I have no problem with IETF having that role, and I agree that it is useful.
My objection was not about IETF having this role, but about publication of 
this specific document, in its current form.

2026 never says that all industry contributions are automatically 
worthy of publciation.  Neither does it say that the purpose of
RFCs is to serve as a way for vendors to claim legitimacy for 
techincally dubious ideas - as happens all too often.

This one, I think, is not worthy.  Or at least, it's on the margin.
