A couple of years ago, I mentioned that I planned to ask that PS be 
published as an Informational RFC. A couple of people mentioned that 
they'd rather not have that happen because it might confuse people who 
are looking for the standards track "answer", e.g., LCUP. But I still 
think it would be useful to publish PS as Information because there are 
multiple implementations, etc.
