I think it might be wiser to wait until the Internationalization issues

to see whether they need to be restricted further (or at least have some
features moved to the obsolete section).
you are talking about doing new technical work. that's not what moving to
Draft is for.
Well reclassifying a few items into or out of the obsolete category is not
necessarily "new technical work" is it? Surely that is just tidying up.
OTOH, if a major change in email is shortly going to happen, namely hte
internationalization of addr-specs, then it does not seem to be the right
time to be bringing out a new standard that merely re-establishes the old
system.
