At least the way I heard in the plenary, people underlined that most 
folks make little difference between maturity levels.  So the above 
model wouldn't probably buy us much but instead would make the IESG 
make do more work.  The more important feature seems to be revision 
based on implementation, interoperability and deployment experience 
which is demonstrated with an implementation/interoperability report.
