I thought my words captured an openness stance, perhaps not.

There is simply no way for LISP WG to mandate that all things LISP be here.
And such a thing would not be healthy long term, and starts down the "not
invented here" path. What I would like to see captured is that the LISP WG
is there for people who wish to do work on LISP in the LISP WG in various
applications.

If a standards developer so chooses to push a work item that uses LISP in
another WG, then that is their choice, and the choice of the target WG.
Similarly, what I don't want to say is that "I'm sorry - LISP encapsulation
of Carrier Pigeon doesn't belong here, see the Carrier Pigeon WG." For
precisely the same reasons you mention.

It will be a normal exercise to maintain awareness and communication with
the other WGs when there is such a spec.

Cheers
