And that is a good thing. Standards should standardize existing
known-to-work practice, not be untried designs (by committee). I
suggest: document any HSTS extensions in Internet-Draft form; get 2
open source implementations, try it out for a while and see if it
works and if people really want it; and then optionally RFC-ify later.
