To be clear: the draft has been stuck in the RFC Editor queue because
of a normative-reference mess in what the IESG has come to think of as
"that cursed Cluster 83."  See
http://www.rfc-editor.org/cluster_info.php?cid=C83

Cyrus's document has a normative reference to
draft-cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd, and that document has a normative
reference to draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.  Both of those
documents have been stuck for a long time.

I agree that this is a process failure.
