Yes, there is a concern about the IETF's efforts being diverted into activities
that are unfriendly to the end-to-end architecture.  On the other hand, it is likely
that the walled gardens will not be so completely walled in the future, and it would
be best to maintain as much technical alignment as is reasonable between the
public Internet and various non-public networks

In this case, the tradeoff seems to me to favor advancing this I-D into an RFC, as
the IETF bandwidth that will be consumed is fairly small, and the future problem to
be avoided is large:  It would be inconvenient to discover that a mobile service
provider that wanted to make its SIP network more open was using URNs for
instance-ids that have been defined to have another purpose by the IETF.
