Why should that matter? If anyone was using these in "regular use", 
they were doing so with no standard and, for at least the past year, 
no available Internet Draft. Why do you feel that clients that 
conform to IDNA should also conform to every possible Internet Draft 
that preceded it, particularly when those drafts were explicitly 
rejected by the WG years ago?

This is not normally how the IETF makes standards...
