I do not believe that bis-06 is ready yet.  There are still several
unresolved issues ranging from simple cut-and-paste errors to a new
signature class that was named, but the draft is missing any
explanation of how to generate it.

There was considerable discussion on the WG mailing list after bis-06
and I believe most of the issues were settled.  I am surprised to see
bis-06 and not a bis-07 being suggested for promotion.  Is this an
error?
