There has been a topic of huge debate in the IETF. It hasn't been
addressed in the sense that no consensus has been reached,
but it's not like no attention has been paid to it.

This is already a function of the existing API.

I think this is a bad idea.

We need one set of documents that normatively specifies the API, not two.
If you want to write a non-normative guide for Web programmers, that
would be incredibly useful and I'm sure we could find a home for it.

We already have a statistics API which is intended to serve much of this
function. I suggest you either propose new statistics within that API or
alternately explain why that API paradigm doesn't work.
