Er, no, we really do believe that all the interop testing done at IETF 116, which is reported in the draft, is sufficient. It is certainly more than the amount that many other protocols get before they are published as RFCs.

How much more interop testing is needed before the document can proceed? There will be parties like Verisign that will never want this to be on standards track, which is fine, but that has never been an acceptable reason to block progress when there are others who have already implemented it.
