That reminds me - does anyone know why draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-12.txt is
still a draft, and hasn't been promoted to RFC status yet?

It seems like there's been no changes to this draft in a year, it's adopted
by several implementations, and there doesn't seem to be anything other than
IETF slowness holding it up.  At least, that's my perspective from the
outside - anyone got any other ideas?

Alun.
