That's a nice principle, but doesn't seem to hold in the IETF scale of things.

If you're talking about overall process I don't think that's true.
If you're talking about the time and effort it takes to standardize
something, alas, yes, and it seems likely to me that any name
redaction work in the future is likely to be as heavily contested
as it is now.  That does not mean, however, that it's not appropriate
to defer a name redaction specification into another, later
document for any number of reasons (including trying to get 6962-bis
out sooner rather than later and trying to avoid being an example
of process sludge).  I think the core question here is whether
publishing 6962-bis without it will make it difficult to specify
name redaction in the future.
