Seven years. What a colossal failure for the IEEE. Any insight on why it took so long?

  The Aussie government research lab CSIRO held patents on some of the technology and only agreed a resolution early this year.

    How can there be patentable technology in a specification? If it's a specification shouldn't it by definition omit implementation details?

      Often there's only one natural way to implement something. For example, AFAIK everyone uses FFT to implement OFDM.
