I guess the question I have is why bother having any of these levels at all? What legitimate purpose are they ACTUALLY serving?

One idea discussed over various beverages last night was based on an observation about the high bar that most Proposed Standards have had to pass over in order to become RFCs: many of them would not have gotten to publication without having already gone through interoperability testing.

So the idea is that the shepherding files for such I-Ds could include interoperability reports indicating that they *are* already interoperable and have successful operational experience, and then be published directly at Draft Standard status.
