Why is this WG considering making this document Standards Track instead of 
Informational? Also, why is the WG considering putting the document in our work 
stream at all? Can the WG can bring much value to the document itself? We do 
have lots of other things we are working on.

There is no procedural need for this document to be part of the DNSOP working 
group. In order for this algorithm to get an algorithm number from IANA, all 
that is needed is an RFC. National crypto algorithms is one of the common use 
cases for the Independent Stream in the RFC Series. Suggesting that the authors 
publish it there will take less time for all of us, will conceivably get it 
published as an RFC sooner, and fulfills the requirement for them to get their 
assignment from IANA.
