have you ever really listened to jkr's presentations about the
status of rfc's? i'm assuming that you have not, because if you

- waiting for waiting for change/disclaimer text
  from the iesg
- waiting for "minor" revisions from the author
- waiting for linked documents to reach appropriate
  maturity levels (so we don't have, eg, an rfc
  citing an internet-draft).
