Scott,

Thanks, I agree that there is supporting language in RFC 2026 to support 
draft-ietf-regext-unhandled-namespaces and 
draft-ietf-regext-secure-authinfo-transfer as standards track technical 
specifications.  We would change the track of both drafts from BCP to standards 
track.  Are there additional thoughts from the working group?    

Thanks,

    Patrick's reservations have merit. If we as a community can't agree that 
the documents describe best current practices, then it might not be appropriate 
for them to be published as BCPs. I'd feel more comfortable with publication on 
the standards track as technical specifications ("A Technical Specification is 
any description of a protocol, service, procedure, convention, or format") as 
described in Section 3.1 of RFC 2026.
