I actually support such a limitation, because it is constrained this
way:
[. . .] at least until M. Moreau has filed his IPR statement
and it is possible for a disinterested person to reach an
independent opinion on the extent, relevance, and validity of
M. Moreau's IPR claims.
I seem to recall that there was some additional discussion of the idea
of "directing" WG members, but I don't think the details in that
discussion are relevant. The problem is that nobody is in any
position to evaluate an allegedly encumbered technology as long as we
don't know the details of the encumbrance. In the absence of those
details, which would be provided by an IPR disclosure according to the
IETF practices, I'm opposed even to discussing the ideas. DNS is too
close to the centre of the Internet's functioning to be subject to
various IPR limitations.
So, if you've filed an IPR disclosure, please let's hear about it (at
which time, the constraint I note above comes into play). I just
tried looking in the IPR pages, and I found nothing.
(As for adoption of the draft, I support that. I have read it; I have
no comments except that the parts in braces need to be expanded; but
that seems to be why those notes are there, and I presume the next
version will perform that expansion.)
