All,
The ACME WG is progressing the Node ID validation draft [1] to WG last call. The ACME side of this mechanism is nearly identical to another method, so there is not much risk there. The BP side though hasn't been reviewed much (or at all), specifically Section 3.3 through 3.5. It's a simple enough protocol but there are some nuances with the IANA registry, as the Administrative Record types never got split between v6 use and v7 use (BPbis didn't allocate or re-use an IANA registry). There may be some bookeeping needed to add v7 admin record types.

I forgot to add to the draft that there is a prototype implementation (of the BP side of the protocol) in [3].
