Greetings again. My motivation here is kinda trivial, but I've heard it is a 
common complaint. When writing a about DNSSEC, I need to reference the RFC. But 
it's three RFCs (4033, 4034, and 4035), and possibly another (6840). It would 
be awfully nice to refer to "DNSSEC" with a single reference like "BCP 250".

To get there, we need to update the RFCs and say that we want an BCP. This is 
mostly a paperwork exercise, but this WG isn't terribly good at getting those 
done. Maybe we could create a short-lived WG for moving DNSSEC to BCP that just 
the DNSSEC-y people need to pay attention to. If we do it, that WG would not 
take up any new DNSSEC-related work, just spruce up the base RFCs.

In the big picture, I think it would be good for the DNS to be able to refer to 
DNSSEC more easily. Thoughts?
