Harald,

oops..sorry...


  It's a "do not publish because it is a technically flawed

  how to express this. Suggestions are welcome.
the reason for blocking "end run" is "would harm the IETF process", and the IESG is the best (?) judge of that.
the argument for the IESG recommending DNP on technically flawed documents is quite a bit weaker; I would like to rephrase this to include the reasons why it would be a Bad Thing to publish it.

suggested reformulation:

Dear RFC Editor-

The IESG has considered draft-allan-mpls-loadbal and has consulted
the chairs of the MPLS WG. The subject of the draft is within the
charter of the MPLS WG and was discussed by it. The discussion in the
WG revealed serious technical issues in the approach described in the
draft, which led to the WG rejecting the document.

[insert specific technical flaws here]

Therefore, the IESG recommends that the RFC editor does not publish this draft.

If the RFC Editor wishes to publish this despite the IESG's recomendation, the IESG wishes the following IESG note to be placed upon it:

IESG NOTE:
This document was reviewed in the IETF MPLS WG, and was found technically unsound. [insert synopsis of reason]
The IESG does not recommend implementing this technology.
