You get my point.
If the purpose of the WG is to document the protocols currently in experimental use in a group in the IETF, no BOF is needed and they seem ready to proceed. If the purpose of the WG is experiments, then this work clearly belongs back on the IRTF, which is not the goal AFAICT (I bring this up only to reinforce David's view that experiments are out of scope).
