Note that the status of this document is an (expired) Internet-Draft -- it is a proposed RFC that has not been adopted, so it doesn't necessarily reflect an IETF consensus.
I mention this because I'm the author of some somewhat controversial Internet-Drafts that some people thought had already been adopted because they were hosted on ietf.org and were written in the style of an RFC. It's worth remembering that anyone can write a proposed RFC and it will be hosted on ietf.org in order to facilitate discussion. IETF documents should indicate their status at the top, as well as having more details about their history available in the IETF datatracker, so we can see what kind of consensus each document has or has not achieved so far.
