Paul, what do you want to happen? Do you understand the IE= TF workflow and what =93IETF last call=94 means in terms of process? Do you know what RECOMMENDED=3DN means? Quoting [1]: If the "Recommended" column is set to "N", it does not necessarily mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases. If the "Recommended" column is set to "D," the item is discouraged and SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT be used, depending upon the situation; consult the item's references for clarity.
