If you look at the draft, it has changed significantly;

o It is now Informational.

o It is tied to Bernie's "Vendor Messages", and documents in pretty
  fine detail their use of those messages to implement "DHCPEAP".
  It requires no IANA assignment, so they do not need these drafts
  to progress to implement it.

I don't know if this is considered bad form at the IETF, but I think
we need to seriously (re)consider this compromise; a show of good
faith on DSL Forum's behalf to document their (ab)uses.

(I would like to note briefly that I see no evidence the draft has
 made any attempt to address the technical concerns I raised last
 year, and so I still must say this draft "documents a bad idea in
 fine detail.")
