There's a difference between "X/Y exists" (but no-one knows about it) and "X/Y
exists and is actively used".  As I said, I've never seen the BCP quoted,
cited, or referenced in any third-party standard that deals with TLS (and by
third-party standard I don't mean other RFCs but industry standards like IEC
61850 or IEC 62351).

That makes it worse, not better, because it's just creating one more I-D or
RFC or BCP or whatever to languish in obscurity.  The profiles need to be part
of the TLS spec where they'll be noticed and used by other standards
referencing it.
