This is really unfortunate.   I think the right thing to do at this 
point is for the WG to put these two drafts on hold (that is, remove 
them from consideration and put tombstones on them on the IETF FTP 
site) until this patent issue is resolved.  Otherwise we're laying a 
trap for people who might be tempted to implement this and might later 
get sued by PacketFront for patent infringement.

It would be interesting to hear what the folks at Cisco have to say 
about this.   Sigh.
