If you could share who told you that, that might be a good starting point :-)

We have other examples in recent history of an informational draft that 
documents current practice being published as an AD-sponsored document; 
examples that spring to mind are RFC 5855 and RFC 7108. But regardless of what 
mechanism is used to publish the document, we need to be sure that it has been 
well-reviewed in this working group. Certainly it's clear that it's not worth 
publishing if it doesn't document what it claims to document.

In my opinion, the draft in this space that really does want to be a dnsop 
document is draft-jabley-dnsop-validator-bootstrap.

Regardless of whether draft-jabley-dnssec-trust-anchor proceeds as a wg draft, 
or as an AD-sponsored individual submission, or is dropped altogether, I really 
think we want the recommended mechanisms by which a validator sets itself up to 
be predictable and solid. That's important for validators running on a server 
with live human technical operators, validators running on home gateways and 
other embedded environments and everything in-between.
