I guess on review, my problem is that I see these two things as being in
conflict.  It's weird that the bullet says "IETF specifications" (a precise
definition), but then the paragraph below it calls out this exception,
rather than just including "non-IETF streams with IESG approval" as its own
bullet.

So this:

(1) Attempt to invoke the previous (but as far as I can tell, improper)

...becomes less opinionated:

(1) Invoke the previous process to get it onto the standards tree by just
having the IESG approve it either as a direct submission to the reviewers
or an ISE publication;

(2) Shop for an AD willing to sponsor it onto the IETF stream; or
