Yes, I'm sure it is. The requested number was not added to the draft, because it was too late to do so before publication. A few days later, Bill Sommerfeld, who was WG chair at the time, posted the following: > So what needs to happen to get this standardized is for someone to write > an internet-draft documenting this extension and advance it as either a > working group item or as an individual submission. That remains the case today. The registration policy for that registry is "IETF Consensus", which means that getting a new number assigned requires publishing an RFC. For this sort of thing, that could happen relatively quickly, once someone writes an internet-draft. -- Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
