I do not understand this either, but I'll note that draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp 
has a ton of Standards Action IANA rules. It does not make sense to have 
such rules in a spec that itself is going for Experimental. So maybe 
Magnus should have said s/Specification Required/Standards Action/ in 
his e-mail... I would support the change of Standards Action rules to 
IETF Review.
