Write an Internet-Draft and upload it to the Internet-Drafts<br>
repository and get some review. My bet is that this will either have<br>
to be AD sponsored or Independent Submission, but maybe it can go<br>
through one of the area working groups.<br>
<br>
The first trick is to get the I-D written, though. There are a lot of<br>
tools for this, none of them very friendly. Many people like<br>
