I think the question of the value the wg can bring is the important one.

In this case it seems unlikely that dnsop has the expertise to review this 
document to the depths of the crypto. The degree to which the advice for DNSSEC 
implementers is clear and unambiguous can surely be assessed without putting it 
through the working group machinery.

An individual submission will still require conflict review by the IESG and 
that will involve credible DNS people to express an opinion, so there will no 
doubt be some familiar faces from dnsop that are still involved in an 
individual capacity, but I think (as I think Paul infers above) that there is 
little benefit to adding this to the workload of the wg chairs and AD if we 
don't expect the document to benefit from corresponding levels of improvement.

For what it's worth if this was to proceed on the individual submission stream 
and if the authors needed independent reviewers to express an opinion as part 
of that process I'd happily put my hand up with a DNS perspective. I almost 
certainly can't help with the crypto.

The question of how dnsop tracks algorithms that exist and whether they are 
recommended or not is reasonably separate from whether this document should be 
published, I think.
