I noticed that the 00 draft would expire in two days, and submitted
a 01 with only minor changes.
I like this document a lot; kudo's to Simon for writing it!
My personal opinion is that suggestions for how to write a free
standard published as an informational RFC is much more useful than
trying to get consensus around some edict that the IETF _only_ publish
free standards.
I agree. There are a number of problems with the current draft (i.e.,
the reference to RSA patents -- those expired years ago), but none that
I think would block progress of the document. This is definitely worth
pursuing.
