I direct your attention to the "can of worms" presentation from IETF#76. :)

http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/77/slides/dime-5.pdf

At the time we started this draft, it was uncertain whether 3588bis
would beat it to publication. So we decided to proceed optimistically
assuming the SNAPTR draft would get published first with the
understanding that we'd have some updates to do if we were wrong.

The application-neutral aspects of SNAPTR (e.g "aaa:diameter.sctp")
were also contributed to 3588bis to ensure that 3588bis would be
functionally complete if it got published first and this draft would
come along later to add the application-specific SNAPTR entries (e.g.
"aaa+ap5:diameter.sctp").

If 3588bis is published first, we will need to change this draft to
state that it updates 3588bis instead of 3588 and remove the duplicate
SNAPTR protocol tag entries.

This draft includes the level of detail required to satisfy the
reviewers. The extra detail may be explained by the
application-specific S-NAPTR grammar/usage being slightly more
complicated than the application-neutral one in 3588bis. Do you think
some essential details are missing from the 3588bis procedures?
