At the SIPPING-OMA ad hoc meeting at Minneapolis, we noted that the 
P-Alerting-Mode "private header" in 
draft-allen-sipping-poc-p-headers-01 was really generally applicable 
(not limited to OMA environments), and that it would be really nice to 
take the text out of the existing private headers draft and publish it 
as a standards-track RFC.

Then we said, "OMA needs a stable reference for this Really Soon, but 
maybe we could fast-track a short specification with one header based 
on existing text to approval as a standards-track RFC by Paris."

And then someone said, "but then it will take another six months to 
come out as an RFC, anyway."

And no one argued that it wouldn't.

And, IIRC, that wasn't the only time taking a long time to publish an 
approved document came up during the same ad hoc meeting.
