Steve,

They would bring the topic up on the appropriate WG mailing list and
submit an internet-draft.

Your prior example of ASON is analogous IETF creating document that
change the underlying SONET model and creating extensions to SONET
outside of ITU (for example: using the loosely defined or undefined
portion of the SONET overhead) specificly to support IP and then
claiming that it was for IP so ITU should just accept it without
questioning it.  There is no reason for the IETF to accept ASON as a
requirement for MPLS/GMPLS.
