Brilliant.
Yes, but pretty clearly a cut-and-paste error. I agree
that we can't expect non-participants to correct that error.
While they were at it they also sanctioned a new
"experimental track". IANA will be thrilled when I ask them
to implement "experimental standard" RFC 2345 because it's
on "experimental track" suited for the IDN TLD experiment.
There's nothing new about that phrase; a quick Google finds usage
going back to 1998 at least.
