Larry, we have explained MULTIPLE times now why it cannot be published.
And if the situation does not change, then the explanation will
remain the same, and we can NOT publish.

You seem to be the only one who believes that it is not a normative

present, and so the doc MUST wait till that normative reference
shows up as an RFC.

I can tell you that that doc has been discussed a few times in the IESG
lately and that the  responsible AD (Ted Hardie) is trying to work out
a resolution. Ted... any more you want to add?
