No, let's not.

This is *not* an IETF project. It is an independent group, at least 
for now. To date, the IETF method of creating requirements documents 
has often failed badly. (For those who were not involved with IDNS, 
James knows this very well from personal experience!)

That's great, and it's *not* an Internet Draft. I would really prefer 
to see things like this than Internet Drafts, at least for many 
months.
