The point of the second document is to describe and evaluate the various
proposals, not to develop a complete protocol specification for the standards
track. As such, informational status seems entirely apropriate to me.
When consensus has been reached and it is time for a standards track
protocol the work could be done either by rechartering this WG or by creating a
new WG.
