Todd,

you are raising an off-topic issue again.

The IETF has decided a long time ago that it has the right to refuse to 
make a contribution a standard. RFC 3978 section 3.5:

3.5.  No Duty to Publish

  The Contributor, and each named co-Contributor, acknowledges that the
  IETF has no duty to publish or otherwise use or disseminate any
  Contribution.

This is not a current discussion item within this working group's 
charter, and is therefore offtopic for this mailing list. Please take it 
elsewhere.

                     Harald Alvestrand, as WG chair
