Chris - I don't agree with everything you state below - but let's put that aside. You have a tough call to make - no matter what you decide some folks will be very unhappy - I don't want to make things tougher for you.
But there is one point that seems highly relevant to me. A compelling case has been made by multiple folks that RFC 5316 can already do what is required. All of Aijun's concerns have been addressed in the original email thread (which is not the same as saying Aijun himself is satisfied on this point). I do not see why the WG should take on redundant work. And if you think that the question as to whether RFC 5316 is sufficient has not yet been answered to your satisfaction, then I suggest the WG focus on answering that question - which should be done BEFORE deciding whether to adopt The Stub-Link draft. That seems to me to be the most appropriate way forward. Good luck!!
