Ben,
...
It's rather unusual for an author of an RFC to publicly state that he plans
to ignore the RFC if it doesn't match his implementation plans.
As you are fond of pointing out, I am not the author, I am one of the
editors. I am perhaps overly honest in stating up front that I will
not unconditionally follow the consensus decisions of the WG, but
surely this is far from being a unique stance.
I don't recall making that observation about your role in generating
this doc. Can you point to a message from me that made that statement,
i.e., that you are an editor, not a doc author? I just don't recall.
I agree that it is common to speak of doc editors, especially when the
content is derived from many sources, e.g., WG list discussions. In this
case,
the source for the initial doc material was very narrow, and I believe
Eran said that you are the one responsible for making edits to address
issues.
So, forgive my choice of words to describe your role.
As for a public statement wrt ignoring WG consensus (in an implementation)
by a doc "editor" it strikes me as very unusual, if not unique, based on
my 28 years of IETF participation.
