I think this is a positioning matter.
This draft is indeed an IETF work product and talks about
IETF requirements. Whether the other publication streams
identified in draft-iab-rfc-editor choose to adopt these
requirements is their business. As Elwyn said (just before
leaving on vacation, btw) the document *could* be reorganised
to suggest which are generic and which are IETF-specific.
But as long as it's an IETF document, that could only be
a suggestion. Given the timeline we're working to, I
personally wouldn't recommend major surgery on the document
for that purpose.

I appreciate that the last call is strictly over, but one
extra point came to mind when considering
draft-iab-rfc-editor-00.
The requirements in draft-mankin split into two parts:
- Those that are specific to the IETF document 'stream' -
most;y the 'front end' of the process
- Those that apply mainly to the back end of the process and
are relevant to any documents that are published by the RFC
Editor
For convenience when specifying requirements for IAB and IRTF
documents etc it would be helpful if the two types of
requirements were split into separate sections for easier
cross referencing.
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.
