If I converted the Miss Manners talk to an RFC, would it getpublished? (fwd)

if she can do it, we'd be stupid to say no.
thoughts?

It would take some work to preserve the style (warm, humorous,
nonconfrontational, but yet lots of good advice), but I think
I can do it.

But would the IAB/IESG oppose publishing it, in which case I
wouldn't want to spend all that effort.
People keep mentioning that I should give the talk
periodically (which I think is another good idea), or
turn it into a BCP.

Thanks,

Radia

Hi Radia,

Have you thought about coverting this into a personal draft and 
eventually getting it published as an Informational RFC (or maybe Best 
Current Practice but that's probably too much to hope for).

For those that missed it, Radia Perlman did an excellent presentation
at the last Minneapolis IETF; "Miss Manners Meets the IETF." [1]
Whilst it doesn't cover the structural problems, there is precious
little excuse for not reading and acting on it.
