Elwyn,

This is, of course, one of the meta-problems with the document
that several of us have tried to point out in different ways.
The community has been repeatedly assured that it applies _only_
to the IETF document stream.  If that is true, then the material
you describe as "generic" is advisory at best.  At worst, it
needs separate evaluation via other processes.

If it is not true, then the document needs an entirely different
type of review and the IESG may not be an appropriate body to
manage that review.

Of course, those comments don't make your suggestion about
reorganizing the document and clearly identifying applicability
any less useful.
