Sorry for the slow response, I've been occupied with administrivia ;-).
Anyway, my preference hasn't changed since I sent my original request
(attached) to Dan over 2 months ago.

Using Extended Attributes was my first choice but it is unfortunately
impossible to do this in any reasonable fashion using them; this was
established as unchangeable WG Consensus some time ago, as announced by Alan
Dekok (it _is_ interesting that RFCs can be updated & made obsolete &
decisions of even the highest courts may be overturned, all based on new
data, but WG Consensus cannot change -- who knew?).  Furthermore (& I
_really_ hate to say this) the attributes as they are have already been
implemented by at least 2 vendors and deployed.

Hi, Dan.  In the interest of timeliness, I'm wondering if I can interest you
in sponsoring this draft for publication.  I'm not at all averse to radext
WG review of the document but publishing it as a WG document would, in all
probability, take years; in fact, it might take years to get it in the
charter.  Thanks for your consideration.
