Ok, Lars, you're asking for opinions, I will give you one. Remember, you asked.
I think that, given how many times the IETF has added bizzare standards track features to IPv6 in order to keep the 3G crew happy, it is very strange to me that we should now balk at approving an Informational document supporting a several-decade-old requirement from one of the earliest adaptors of IPv4. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw the reference to the US DoD as a walled garden (which it is, of course, but pot, meet kettle...). I think the IETF should get out of the way and let the MLS people have their hop-by-hop option and Informational document.
