I thought that, too.  But it turns out that 1183 is experimental.
Still, given what it is, it probably wants to be published as an RFC and 
possibly reviewed in DNSEXT, though in practice they probably don't care.

I don't think that will be a problem.  It's becoming more commonplace to 
handle things as individual IETF contributions that are straightforward 
enough not to require spinning up a WG, even for standards-track documents. 
Of course, it'll require a four-week last call, but I don't expect finding 
a sponsor will be a problem.
