Question re: an Internet-Draft and testing/deployment

2000-02-16 08:50:02
Noticed this one this morning:

--- start excerpt
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


        Title           : Compatible Internationalized Domain Names Using 
                          Compression
        Author(s)       : P. Hoffman
        Filename        : draft-hoffman-idn-cidnuc-02.txt
        Pages           : 12
        Date            : 15-Feb-00
        
This protocol describes a transformation method for representing non-
ASCII characters in domain names in a fashion that is completely
compatible with the current DNS. It meets the many requirements for
internationalization of domain names.

Note: this protocol is quite experimental and should not be deployed in
the Internet until it reaches standards track in the IETF.
--- end excerpt

Regarding the Note: - is there any coherent plan regarding testing/deployement
in regards to moving this from Experimental to Standards Track?
