Already done. It will be in CMS-10.

Would it be possible to insert text to this effect either in section 6.2.3 or
12.6? At the moment 12.6 seems to imply that you can only use the given wrap
algorithm, however in some cases it's useful to be able to support other key
wrap techniques, especially when implemented via crypto hardware over which
you have no control.
