For those interested in what has changed in this draft by comparison
to the specification of iSER in RFC 5046, here's a reasonably readable
diff that shows the text changes:
http://www.stiemerling.org/ietf/storm-review/diff-rfc5046-to-iser.html
and the edited version of RFC 5046 on which this was based
http://www.stiemerling.org/ietf/storm-review/rfc5046-edited.txt
All of the content of RFC 5046 is preserved in that version, but the
changes to improve the diff include swapping the order of sections 1
and 2 in order to match the storm-iser draft, and taking out page
gutters that confuse the IETF diff tool.
And many thanks to our AD (Martin Stiemerling) for hosting this on his
web site.
FYI,

<draft-ietf-storm-iser-12.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2012-10-22. Exceptionally, comments

Abstract
iSCSI Extensions for RDMA provides the RDMA data transfer capability
to iSCSI by layering iSCSI on top of an RDMA-Capable Protocol. An
RDMA-Capable Protocol provides RDMA Read and Write services, which
enable data to be transferred directly into SCSI I/O Buffers without
intermediate data copies. This document describes the extensions to
the iSCSI protocol to support RDMA services as provided by an RDMA-
Capable Protocol.
This document obsoletes RFC 5046.
