Let us stick to TCs, the other stuff may involve much more.
Making an IANA considerations for registering new common/generic TCs
seems something we can do.
The problem is that we have MIBs that gos PS, DS, STD.
So what we need to be able to defend is that a set of such TCs at
IANA may be referenced (imported) in a normative way and yet such
docs may advance on the stds track.
Does anybody see an objection to that?
Or do many people support this?
