     i tend to agree, but in rfc-index.txt i could not find the
     change of state to "Historic".  what happend to very similar
     (and much more evil IMHO) transition technology, SIIT?

<https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/?search_filename=draft
-ietf-v6ops-natpt-to-historic> indicates that the document
making NAT-PT is in the RFC Editor's queue.

I wasn't aware that the RFC Editor couldn't simply move a
document to historic in the index when something is queued that
explains that action.  The two actions -- reclassification and
publication-- ought to be largely independent.   Or is this
another example of the triumph of procedure over good sense?
