Jean-Michel,
you are probably right explaining all this. However, Peter is 
probably not used to our customs.

So, let me add that for the time being the IUCommunity focuses on 
developping an experimentation ML-DNS in public domain (matters 
documented on IETF lists are subject to ISOC Copyrights). We hoped we 
could have a non-copyrighted stream, but for the time being, IESG and 
mostly IAB have been clear enough: IUI issues are either research or 
non-IETF scope. This is why we also setting up an IU task force that 
will be able to document the IU issues as public domain. Their 
further presentation as IETF documents will be subject to ISOC 
Copyright, but not their content. Also, the IUCommunity being young 
and testing having not begun yet on U-labels, nothing says that 
ourcurrent vision will even stay around.

So, according to the precautionary principle of least user surprise, 
better we stay in our respective areas. And Internet IETF RFCs stay 
within the boundaries of lowercase A-Labels.
