Jim, thanks for reminding us about how the Standards Track is defined. I completely agree that BIND should be submitted as "Proposed". > ... > I will note that even though the IETF does not require implementation or > operational experience, it is my understanding that Julian Reschke has > implemented this specification. It would not surprise me if others have as > well. > ... Let me add that it is also implemented in Apache Slide, see <http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-bind.html>. I'd also like to point out that the damage done in terms of lost interoperability will be far greater if the spec continues to be just another Internet Draft. If Lisa indeed is right in that there are underspecified areas that need fixing (I disagree), this is something that would need to be addressed in a future revision. Let me also point out that one of the most important things for this WG to work on should be RFC2518bis, essentially publishing all the clarifications and simplications the people over here have worked on for many years. The ongoing fighting about specs that are essentially finished provably distracts us from that. Best regards, Julian
