Indeed, it is in its infancy. The -00 was pretty much just a problem statement, and the -01 took the first steps into solution space. 

Note that an I-D yes not have to be close to its final shape to be adopted by the WG, indeed you can vote to adopt even if there are parts you currently disagree with, but believe it is important work for the WG.

I’m expecting that we’ll get a view from our AD (Terry) on whether the pairing work is to be done in dnssd or elsewhere by the time the call for adoption period completes, and that, alongside other comments about the magnitude of the work and whether sufficient critical mass exists to execute it, will inform Ralph and I to make a decision. The (limited) views in the room in Berlin were very positive, but your points are well made.
