if indeed RFC 2606 (a.k.a, BCP 32) said "all domain names in RFCs MUST use one of the following bases" then a blocking DISCUSS by an IESG member would be a reasonable thing. RFC 2606 does not say that and, thus, a blocking DISCUSS is not reasonable if the IESG had posted a set of rules that s

The reason that RFC 2606 was made a BCP was that, at the time, it was felt that a document with that level or approval was needed to reserve domain names in the global Internet. Alternatively, it could have been done with a standards track document, but that seemed inappropriate. As has been state

Sounds like a lot of work to me. In the era of xml2rfc, that could be error-prone as well. For the particular issue, having a notice in the Conventions section might do (it may be there already...). However, it doesn't address the fundamental issue raised by the appeal. I don't think the IETF
