Rolf,

(copying RFC Editor)

Certainly would be nice.  If we can do this on the schedule I
think the Co-chairs and ADs are anticipating, and the big block
of numbers between 8820 and 8874 is not already taken, that
would be very elegant.  Either way, reserving the next number in
sequence for the proposed A/S would also be helpful.
