It's not helped by the fact that there's drafts (Internet Draft Documents,
ietf-draft-*.txt) and drafts (RFCs that document Draft Standards).

If you ask me, it's all daft.

But yes, Paul, what I'm looking for (and I hope others will support) is to
turn draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-12.txt into an RFC as soon as possible - if
that is best achieved by having this WG adopt it and push for its inclusion,
then I'd very much like that.  Rough consensus and working code - the large
number of interoperating implementations out there should be enough to
establish both of these.

Alun.
