That's a thoughtful suggestion, but it sort of defeats the point of permitting IANA and/or the IETF to publish their own persistence policy for the resources they publish. Would they trust you to honour their persistence policy? Would the community? If resources are an issue - and it's my information that they are, for IANA - then how about somebody volunteer some of their time to help them set up and maintain their servers in a Web friendly manner? I know the W3C is itself struggling with resources to an extent, but as an AC rep, I'd be happy to support lending them a warm body for a week or two, plus perhaps a small ongoing committment. It's in everybody's interest that this happen, IMO. I think any request made of IETF/IANA that included a committment such as this, would be met much more warmly than it would without it. Just my 2c.
