In rereviewing IETF practices in this area, I think the right
thing to do is to remove the IPR claims from the internet
draft. A separate IPR notice can be sent to statements at ietf.org.
The internet draft (and the subsequent RFC) would then contain
the standard notice that there are IPR claims related to
the technology in the draft.

I think this will address the issue of having an RFC
seem to endorse the legitimacy IPR claims, despite the 
appearance of a disclaimer.
