I beg to differ.  The publication request of the original RSVP-TE spec was
made *by the MPLS WG*.  The publication request of the GMPLS RSVP spec was
makde *by the CCAMP WG*.  Furthermore, the issue is not who submits the
document; it is the degree of scrutiny it gets.  *Standards Track* docs
go through a much stricter review than informational ones.

Do you consider deprecating ResvErr and ResvTear not "forcibly changing
RSVP or major change in direction"?
