Is btv an ATSC-approved standard or proposal? I see that it was
recently submitted as an Internet Draft.
It was developed within the context of ATSC T3/S17. However, ATSC
rules prohibit such committees from approving _anything_ (they make
recommendations which are forwarded to T3 for it to approve).
As this is intended to be a cross-transport URI scheme, it is not
appropriate for ATSC to promogulate it as a standard. Instead, it
hopes (!) that IETF will adopt it so that ATSC can then point to the
standard for incorporation.
Sounds backwards, but makes sense if you say it to yourself five times
(:-).

Correct,
