All of this raises the obvious question of the purpose in having the IESG 
"approve" Experimental status.  If the approval does not pertain to basic 
technical issues, such as known conflicts with other specifications, it is 
difficult to imagine any benefit in the approval process.

On the other hand, the fact of IESG "approval" for these two specifications has 
been richly touted as progress on the standards track.  Given how sensitive the 
IETF community is about misrepresentation of its actions and labels, we should 
make sure that the value-add of those actions is clear and real.
