I'm happy to help with that distinction and am sure Paul is too
although a lot of the credit goes to the RFC Editor,
particularly Alice Hagens, for doing an outstanding job and
doing it very quickly.

5892bis has been stuck in IANA hold (i.e., not either the WG's
or the RFC Editor's fault)... I believe there has been another,
independent, effort lately to un-stick it, but that may deserve
a nudge from the IETF side too.
